Because horses differ in chest width, shoulder structure, and overall build, standard horse size does not guarantee a universal fit. Compare these measurements with your horse and saddle before ordering.

Adjust both saddle tugs evenly and position the lower cinch strap so it provides secure attachment without excessive pressure or interference with the horse's front legs.

Black Leather with Traditional Spikes Border Tooling

The defining feature of this breast collar is its distinctive spikes tooled border. The repeating spike-shaped leather impressions create a strong, structured Western design that stands apart from traditional floral, basket weave, and oak leaf tooling.

The black finish emphasizes the border pattern while maintaining a classic appearance suitable for ranch riding, working tack, roping equipment, and Western pleasure setups.

The spike pattern is decorative tooling worked into the leather, not separate metal spikes. This gives the breast collar its distinctive appearance without adding protruding spike hardware to the design.

Riders maintaining or restoring existing equipment can also explore our leather saddle fenders for replacement and restoration of traditional Western riding tack.

A properly fitted breast collar works alongside the saddle and cinch to help resist backward saddle movement. It provides additional stability but does not replace correct saddle fitting or cinch adjustment.
