Key Features & Benefits: Frequently Asked Questions How do I ensure this breast collar fits my horse correctly for optimal comfort and stability? Achieving the perfect fit is crucial. The Martin Saddlery breast collar should rest comfortably across your horse's chest, allowing full range of motion in the shoulders without rubbing. Ensure it's snug enough to prevent sagging but not so tight that it restricts breathing or presses on the sternum. The 1-3/4 inch width is designed for even pressure distribution. While often used without, some riders may choose to add a wither strap for additional stability, which is typically sold separately. How durable is the harness leather, and how will it perform under regular use and varied conditions? This breast collar is crafted from premium harness leather, celebrated for its exceptional durability and longevity. Harness leather is known for its dense fibers and natural oils, making it highly resistant to sweat, moisture, and the wear and tear of demanding equestrian activities. With proper care, it will maintain its integrity and develop a beautiful "broken-in" feel, becoming even more comfortable and resilient over years of use. Are the "Blood Knots" purely decorative, or do they serve a functional purpose? Will they affect my horse's comfort? The "Blood Knots" are primarily a distinctive decorative element, showcasing classic Western aesthetic and fine handcrafted detail. They add a unique touch of heritage and sophistication to the breast collar. Rest assured, these knots are expertly integrated and designed to lie flat against the leather, ensuring they do not create pressure points or cause any discomfort or rubbing for your horse. Is this breast collar suitable for various riding disciplines, especially demanding Western activities? Absolutely! The Martin Saddlery 1-3/4in Harness Leather Breast Collar with Blood Knots is built for versatility and performance. Its robust construction and secure design make it an excellent choice for a wide range of Western disciplines, including ranch work, trail riding over varied terrain, roping, barrel racing, and rodeo events, where saddle stability and equipment reliability are paramount.
