I think in that picture, they have it too high up the girth. The breastplate should be absolutely level all the way across to the girth.

It's just a simple loop of leather on the end, that the girth can slide through. On some models it can be tightened down, or a lot of people use a heavy rubber band to hold it exactly in position.

I have a hunting saddle, a Courbette, that has a very deep knee roll and a long flap. I've used the large breastplate and it works fine -- but I use the hunting breastplate because I can attach my martingale to the ring in front, and Gracie definitely needs the German martingale or she gets above the bit pretty quickly when galloping.

Good morning:)

It’s hot here again, but there is still a nice breeze. My horse is saddled, so I’m gone for awhile.

Just pinging everyone I can think of. Seems a lot of our regulars are disappearing:(

Good Morning.

Our friend Dakota has a new horse. He used PJ for many years and had been showing another leased horse. His Dad bought him a nice 3 yo QH gelding. The horse is here at our place, until fall. It is raining today, or else I would get some pictures. I had posted pictures of Dakota in the past.
