Shires Rossano Five Point Leather Breastplate - Premium Equestrian Horse Tack

Stop worrying about saddle slip and start focusing on your line with the Shires Rossano Five Point Breastplate. Engineered for high-intensity performance, this breastplate ensures your saddle stays secure while providing unparalleled pressure relief for your horse during every jump.

Crafted from premium European leather, the Rossano is designed to meet the rigorous demands of eventing and show jumping. By distributing pressure across five distinct points, it eliminates the localized pinching common in traditional breastplates, while the integrated elastic inserts allow for a full range of motion through the shoulder, ensuring your horse can gallop and clear obstacles with total freedom.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Premium European Leather: Offers exceptional durability and a professional, high-end finish suitable for the most prestigious competition rings.
• Removable Sheepskin Pads: Features plush sheepskin at the shoulders and chest to prevent rubbing and distribute pressure evenly for sensitive horses.
• Integrated Elastic Inserts: Designed to allow the horse’s shoulder to move freely, preventing restriction during the peak of a jump or at a full gallop.
• Detachable Running Martingale: Includes a removable martingale attachment, providing the versatility to use the breastplate for multiple horses or different schooling sessions.
• High Adjustability: Equipped with extra adjustment holes on the wither, girth, and breast straps to fine-tune the fit for awkwardly shaped or "half-size" horses.
• Five-Point Stability: The gold standard for cross-country and jumping, keeping the saddle anchored during steep inclines, water jumps, and high-speed maneuvers.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the Shires Rossano fits my horse correctly?
A: While this breastplate is highly adjustable, the rule of thumb for a 5-point design is to ensure you can fit two fingers under the chest straps and a full fist under the wither strap to prevent any restriction of movement.

Q: Is this breastplate suitable for disciplines other than eventing?
A: Yes! While it is a favorite for cross-country, it is also highly popular for show jumping and fox hunting, or for any rider navigating hilly terrain where saddle stability is a safety priority.
