Weaver Leather Working Tack Heavy Duty Steer Breast Collar - Doubled and Stitched Harness Leather - 4" to 2" Taper

When your horse is bracing against the weight of a 900lb steer, you need a breast collar that offers uncompromising stability and zero-stretch performance. The Weaver Leather Heavy Duty Steer Breast Collar is engineered to distribute pressure evenly across the chest, keeping your saddle secure during the most demanding ranch work and rodeo events.

Handcrafted from premium Hermann Oak® russet harness leather, this breast collar undergoes a rigorous oil-dipping process and is finished with saddle butter for a supple feel that resists the elements. The doubled and stitched "tripping" construction ensures maximum strength, preventing the leather from elongating under extreme torque while the hand-rubbed edges prevent chafing on your horse’s shoulders during high-intensity maneuvers.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Premium Hermann Oak® Leather: Handcrafted from oil-dipped russet harness leather that is hand-rubbed for maximum weather resistance and long-lasting suppleness.
• Heavy-Duty Tripping Design: Features a doubled and stitched construction specifically engineered to handle the extreme tension and pulling required in steer roping.
• Anatomical Tapered Width: Measures 4" at the widest point and tapers to 2" at the ends to provide a massive surface area for pressure distribution without hindering shoulder movement.
• Standard Horse Fit: Sized to fit most average to stock-type horses, measuring approximately 34"–36" from dee-ring to dee-ring for a professional, secure fit.
• Stainless Steel Hardware: Equipped with high-quality, non-rust stainless steel hardware that ensures longevity and reliability in sweat-heavy and outdoor conditions.
• Multi-Discipline Versatility: Ideal for steer tripping, heavy ranch work, and Western speed events where saddle stability is critical for rider safety and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this breast collar suitable for everyday ranch work or just roping?
A: While specifically built for the high-torque demands of steer tripping, its heavy-duty construction makes it an excellent choice for dragging brush, pulling calves, or riding steep terrain where saddle slippage is a safety risk.

Q: How do I ensure this collar fits my horse correctly without restricting movement?
A: This collar features a 4" to 2" taper designed to sit above the point of the shoulder. Use the adjustable tugs to ensure a "fist-width" of clearance at the chest, allowing your horse to breathe and move freely while maintaining maximum stability.
