Heavy Duty Western Breast Collar for Roping and Barrel Racing

This medium oil floral tooled breast collar combines traditional leatherwork with a practical design for working horses. Its adjustable attachment system helps provide additional saddle support across several Western riding disciplines.

• Roping: Helps resist backward saddle movement during active roping and demanding working conditions.
• Barrel Racing: Provides additional saddle stability through turns, acceleration, and changes of direction.
• Ranch Work: Suitable for everyday horseback activities, cattle work, and regular outdoor riding.
• Trail Riding: Helps maintain saddle positioning when navigating hills and uneven terrain.

The shoulder straps should rest comfortably across the horse's chest without placing excessive pressure on the shoulders. Proper adjustment is important for maintaining natural movement and preventing rubbing during extended riding.

Fit & Sizing

This Western leather breast collar comes in adjustable standard horse size. The following verified measurements help riders determine whether the breast collar is suitable for their horse and existing Western saddle equipment.

• Shoulder Strap Width: 2 1/2 inches at the widest point.
• Shoulder Strap Length: 15 inches on each side, measured leather fold to leather fold, excluding metal rings.
• Saddle Tug Width: 3/4 inch on both sides.
• Saddle Tug Adjustment: 10 to 13 inches on each side.
• Lower Cinch Strap Width: 3/4 inch.
• Lower Cinch Strap Adjustment: 16 1/2 to 19 inches, excluding the snap hook.
• Cinch Strap Snap Hook: 2 inches long, measured separately.
• Horse Size: Adjustable standard horse size.

Important Measurement Information: Each shoulder strap measures 15 inches of leather from fold to fold. The metal rings are excluded, so this is not an overall ring-to-ring measurement. The lower cinch strap adjustment of 16 1/2 to 19 inches also excludes its separate 2-inch snap hook.

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

For correct positioning, adjust both saddle tugs evenly and confirm that the lower cinch strap allows natural movement without interfering with the horse's front legs.

Medium Oil Floral Tooling with Black Painted Inlay

The distinctive appearance of this Western breast collar comes from its combination of traditional floral leather tooling and contrasting black painted detailing.

The medium oil finish gives the leather a warm brown appearance, while the black painted inlay accents emphasize the floral pattern and add depth to the decorative carving. The contrast creates a recognizable Western look suitable for ranch equipment, roping tack, barrel racing, and pleasure riding.

Unlike a plain leather breast collar, this design emphasizes traditional Western artistry while remaining intended for practical working use. Its decorative treatment complements the leather construction rather than replacing the functional purpose of the tack.

Leather Care and Maintenance

After riding, remove accumulated dust, sweat, and dirt with a soft cloth. Allow damp leather to dry naturally away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner sparingly to the unfinished or appropriate leather surfaces as needed. Avoid applying conditioner directly over black painted detailing unless the product is confirmed safe for painted leather, as some treatments may affect the finish.

Inspect the leather straps, adjustment holes, stitching, rings, buckles, and snap hook before riding. Replace any worn or damaged components before demanding activities such as roping or barrel racing.
