Working Tack Breast Collar

Keep your saddle where you set it when the ground tilts or the day gets long. This breast collar is built from weighted harness leather, so it has substance without feeling stiff, and the non-rust hardware holds up to sweat, rain and repeated use.

The leather is dipped in oil, dressed with saddle butter and hand rubbed, which gives it a supple feel from the start and helps it weather the work ahead. It is the kind of tack you put on and forget about until you need it, which is the point.

Highlights

• Keeps the saddle from sliding back on hills
• Weighted harness leather with a solid feel
• Non-rust hardware for wet weather and daily use
• Oiled and hand-rubbed for a supple finish

Good to know

• Check the fit with your saddle on and the girth tightened; the collar should sit clear of the windpipe and let the shoulder move.
• Wipe off sweat and dirt after a ride, then let the leather air dry away from direct heat.
• Oil the leather when it starts to feel dry, and check the hardware and tug straps before a long day.

Have it ready before the next long ride or working day.
