Professional's Choice BC Rough Out Tripper Breast Collar - 3.25" Width Heavy Roughout Leather

When your work demands maximum stability and your horse deserves total comfort, the BC Rough Out Tripper Breast Collar delivers the heavy-duty performance needed for the toughest ranch tasks. Engineered to withstand the extreme shock loads of steer tripping and dallying, this collar ensures your saddle stays perfectly anchored while allowing your horse a completely unrestricted range of motion.

Crafted for the professional horseman, this collar utilizes premium rough-out leather to provide an aggressive grip against the horse's coat, effectively preventing the saddle shifting that leads to soreness during hard stops. The combination of a wide, pressure-distributing 3.25-inch contoured shape and a supple burgundy latigo lining creates a piece of equipment that is as durable as it is humane, resisting sweat and moisture through the longest days on the trail or in the sorting pen.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How does a "tripping collar" differ from a standard breast collar?
A: The BC Tripper is significantly wider and thicker than standard collars, providing the increased surface area and strength required to handle the immense force of steer tripping and heavy dallying without breaking or cutting into the horse’s skin.

Q: Will the rough-out texture cause rubbing or hair loss?
A: No. While the exterior provides grip against the saddle, the interior is lined with smooth burgundy latigo leather. This lining is designed to be comfortable against the horse’s chest, staying soft and moisture-resistant even during heavy exertion.

Q: What is the best way to maintain the rough-out leather?
A: Use a specialized suede or stiff nylon brush to remove dried mud and "fluff" the nap. To condition the leather without flattening the texture, apply oil only to the smooth latigo lining on the underside; it will soak through to nourish the fibers from the inside out.
