More safety when riding

Front harness

The breastplate, often in combination with a martingale fork, is mainly used in show jumping and cross-country riding. When correctly buckled, the breastplate prevents the saddle from slipping backwards. The breastplate is also used for young horses whose saddle position is not yet sufficiently aligned.

What is the breastplate made of?

The breastplate consists of a ring that is placed loosely around the neck. Attached to this is a strap on each side for attachment to the saddle. A wide strap runs between the forelegs to the metal ring on the saddle girth. Most breastplates are supplied with a martingale fork. The Ingrid Klimke breastplate has an additional neck ring. The breastplate is either made of leather, which is soft and robust. Or it is made of synthetic material, which is often in signal colours to improve the horse's visibility. The breastplate is also available with lambskin to protect contact points from chafing.
