Martin Saddlery Western Floral Tooled Leather Breastcollar - 2-Inch Wide, Dyed Edge, Horse Size

Secure your saddle with confidence while ensuring your horse enjoys a full, unrestricted range of motion during high-impact maneuvers. This 2-inch floral tooled breastcollar strikes the perfect balance between professional arena style and the rugged durability needed for the toughest mountain trails.

Hand-carved by skilled artisans, the intricate floral tooling is set against professionally dyed and burnished edges that do more than just look sharp—they prevent "edge bite" and chafing against your horse's shoulders. Constructed from heavy-duty natural skirting leather and reinforced with perimeter stitching, this collar is engineered to withstand horse sweat and daily rigors without losing its shape or crisp definition, making it the ultimate performance accessory for the versatile Western rider.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Optimal 2-Inch Width: Provides the "sweet spot" of stability for barrel racing, cutting, and trail riding without the restrictive bulk of a heavy pulling collar.
• Premium Skirting Leather: Crafted from high-grade natural leather that is thick and durable, designed to resist stretching and withstand the torque of Western maneuvers.
• Intricate Hand-Tooled Design: Features classic Western floral patterns hand-carved for a high-end, custom look that stands out in the show ring.
• Contrast Dyed & Burnished Edges: Professionally finished edges create a polished look while smoothing the leather to prevent irritation and rubbing during heavy movement.
• Stainless Steel Hardware: Equipped with heavy-duty, rust-resistant D-rings and buckles to ensure long-lasting performance in all weather conditions.
• Full Adjustability: Includes adjustable side tugs and a center latigo strap to ensure a precise fit for horses ranging from 14.2 to 16 hands.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure this collar fits my horse correctly?
A: This is a standard horse size designed for a "Dee-to-Dee" measurement of approximately 34 to 36 inches. For a perfect fit, adjust the side tugs so there is a two-finger gap between the leather and your horse’s chest, ensuring the collar sits comfortably above the point of the shoulder to prevent saddle slippage.

Q: Is this breastcollar suitable for heavy roping?
A: While the 2-inch width and premium skirting leather offer exceptional strength for barrel racing, ranch work, and mountain trails, heavy roping typically requires a 3-to-5-inch pulling collar. This model is the ideal versatile choice for riders who need high-performance stability across multiple Western disciplines without excess bulk.

Q: Will the edge dye bleed onto my horse's coat?
A: No. Our dyed-edge collars are professionally sealed and finished to ensure the color remains locked in the leather. The dye will not transfer to your horse, even during heavy exertion or when exposed to significant sweat.
