Oiled Hermann Oak Harness Leather Breast Collar

Cattle work, barrel turns, a long climb on a switchback trail: a breast collar earns its keep when the ground tilts or your horse gets quick. This one helps reduce backward slip on a climb and side-to-side shifting in quick stops and turns. You stay balanced without cranking the cinch down until your horse complains.

The leather is Hermann Oak russet harness leather, dipped in oil and dressed with saddle butter, then hand rubbed smooth. It moves with your horse instead of fighting him, and it feels broken in from the first ride. Stainless steel hardware shrugs off sweat, rain and mud instead of rusting into the leather.

Good to know

• Check the fit with your saddle on before a long ride, so the straps sit clear of the shoulder and the collar pulls evenly.
• Wipe off sweat and mud after a ride and let the leather air out away from direct heat, then work in saddle butter when it starts feeling dry.

Get it fitted before your next long ride or working weekend.
