You should be able to fit a flat hand or two fingers between the leather and the chest to ensure it doesn't interfere with breathing or the windpipe during a heavy pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this suitable for disciplines other than steer roping?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. While built for the torque of steer tripping, the 4-inch width is a favorite for trail riders with mutton-withered horses and barrel racers who need maximum saddle stability to prevent sliding during high-speed turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e BCW4SRRO\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Saddlery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378674483421,"sku":"BCW4SRRO","price":234.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/BCW4SRRO_1770704529144.webp?v=1770704574","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/4-inch-steer-roper-breastcollar","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
