Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure this breast collar fits my pony correctly?
A: This collar is engineered specifically for ponies 10 to 13.2 hands. For a safe and effective fit, the collar should sit above the point of the shoulder to allow for a full range of motion, and you should be able to slide two fingers comfortably between the chest strap and the pony.

Q: Will the Orchid tassels bleed onto my pony's coat?
A: To preserve the vibrant Orchid dye and prevent bleeding, we recommend cleaning the tassels with a damp cloth and mild glycerin soap. Avoid over-saturating the leather with water or allowing it to become soaked with excessive sweat, especially on light-colored coats.

Q: Is the hardware noisy during performance?
A: The beveled stainless steel rings are designed to provide movement and shine, which may create a very faint, rhythmic metallic sound. This "presence" is a highly desired feature for Western show, drill team, and parade riders looking to make an impression in the ring.
