Responding to a reader request from Mike on some advice on Breast Collar fit. I use a pulling collar with the attachment straps through the swell of the saddle as this keeps the collar off the Horse's chest and his neck and doesn't limit his mobility nor discomfort him as much as breast collar that lays across the chest tied to D rings on the saddle. I also secure the breast collar not so tight as I leave enough room to put a fist between the collar and the horse's chest.
Man, have I needed this. Wondering if I can't use my existing ones for now, Just pull up to a made strap. If you check my FB page, you may find my story about the wreck that happened to me and a perfect horse because a strap broke. And you also may want to see what Baxter Black reminds us about always be riding your horse. To be continued. Now, I go out and re-rig my riggin
