Martin Saddlery 1.5" Roughout Breastcollar with Floral Spots

Stop Saddle Slippage on Hard-Working Horses

When you're turning tight barrels, working steep terrain, or roping heavy cattle, the last thing you need is your saddle creeping forward. The Martin Saddlery 1.5-inch Roughout Breastcollar locks your saddle in place with the natural grip of premium roughout leather—no more readjusting mid-ride. Hand-oiled for a supple feel right out of the box, this breastcollar combines the durability Martin is known for with the refined look of embossed floral spots and nickel-oxidized dots.

The 1.5-inch width spreads pressure evenly across your horse's chest, preventing the concentrated soreness you'd get from narrower straps during high-torque work. Stainless steel hardware won't rust or weaken, and the roughout finish grips against the coat far better than smooth leather. It's built for the long haul—from our barn to yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if this breastcollar fits my horse correctly?

The side straps should sit above the point of the shoulder so your horse has full range of motion in the front legs. You should be able to fit a closed fist—about four fingers—between the center ring and your horse's chest. If it's too tight, it'll restrict movement; too loose and the saddle can still shift during hard work.

Q: Will the roughout leather stay grippy after it gets wet or sweaty?

Yes. Roughout leather actually grips better when it's damp compared to smooth leather, which can get slick. The hand-oiled finish on this Martin Saddlery breastcollar helps it dry evenly without stiffening up. Just let it air-dry naturally and brush off any caked dirt before storing.

Q: Is this breastcollar strong enough for team roping or heavy ranch work?

Absolutely. The 1.5-inch width and stainless steel hardware are built for high-stress disciplines like roping and cutting. Martin Saddlery gear is trusted by working cowboys and competitive ropers who need equipment that won't fail when the pressure's on.
