Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does "Average Horse" sizing mean, and how do I ensure a comfortable fit?"Average Horse" sizing is a standard measurement designed to fit most horses commonly ridden in Western disciplines. This pulling breast collar is highly adjustable via its two straps that attach to the saddle swell, allowing you to customize the fit. For optimal comfort and function, ensure the collar sits correctly above the point of your horse's shoulders, allowing for uninhibited movement and breathing. It should be snug enough to prevent slipping but loose enough to not restrict movement or cause rubbing. Regularly check for pressure points and condition the leather to keep it supple, further minimizing any risk of chafing. If you're concerned about specific measurements, consulting a local tack professional or measuring your horse's chest circumference and shoulder-to-swell distance for comparison is recommended.How effective is this pulling breast collar in stabilizing the saddle, and does it restrict my horse's movement?The primary purpose of this pulling breast collar is to provide superior saddle stability and prevent the saddle from sliding backward, especially during demanding activities like climbing hills, roping, or extensive ranch work. Unlike traditional breast collars, this design sits higher on the horse's chest and attaches to the saddle's swell, offering excellent leverage. This unique positioning is crucial because it ensures the saddle stays securely in place while simultaneously allowing for greater freedom of the shoulders. Your horse can move naturally and comfortably, without restriction, enhancing performance and reducing fatigue during strenuous tasks.What kind of leather is used, and how durable is the hardware?This Weaver Leather Breast Collar is crafted from premium, rich chestnut leather, chosen for its exceptional durability, strength, and classic aesthetic.
