Equipe-BP01-Breastplate
RRP
£232.00

Equipe BP01

Quality leather

Durable elastic

Stainless steel fittings

We say…

A gorgeous breastplate that’s perfect for competition wear or for smartening up your home tack. Found it true to size with plenty of room for adjustment for finding the perfect fit. Would’ve preferred a strap over the withers to help keep it in place. Allowed the horse to move freely and the elastic had a good amount of give. High-quality fittings that are easy to use, and really easy to put on and take off as every fastening is a clip. 

Schockemohle-Pro-Jump-Plus
RRP
£125.00

Schockemöhle Pro Jump Plus

Elastic inserts

Fully adjustable

Provides a comfortable and flexible fit

 

We say…

Smart looking breastplate that performed really well. Offered the horse a comfortable fit with plenty of room available for adjustment, with rings for training aids and a robust clip for the girth. The clips made it quick to swap over or take off if using on multiple horses. The martingale was easy to remove if you didn’t want to use it. Good quality leather that’s showing no signs of wear even after regular use. 

Rambo-Micklem
RRP
£115.95

Rambo Micklem

Ergonomic three-point design

Fully adjustable

 

We say…

The leather was soft and supple with plenty of padding. Looked stylish and the fit was comfortable. Didn’t rub, unlike previous breastplates. It didn’t restrict movement and the wide range of adjustment was pleasing. The detachable safety strap was a nice touch – perfect for jumping and riding youngsters – and was easily removed when not needed. The possibility to secure the breastplate to the stirrup bars was quite unique and ensured a more secure fit. Robust clip attachments. Really worth the money.   

Mark-Todd-Hunting
RRP
£84.98

Mark Todd Hunting

Made from soft supple leather

Stainless steel fittings

We say…

A good quality leather breastplate that was supple from the start. It offered plenty of room for adjustment and attached to the saddle very neatly and securely with no clips to get caught up. The large aluminium rings would even be plenty for thicker or double reins. It’s been used regularly and always came up well after cleaning. A lovely breastplate with plenty of adjustment that does the job and would be a smart addition to any rider’s wardrobe with stylish fancy stitching and detailing. 

Mackey-Classic-Hunting
RRP
£68.75

Mackey Classic Hunting

Fully adjustable

3/4″ wide leather straps

Detailed white stitching with an elegant finish

 

We say…

Smart overall appearance, although the thick leather looked better on stockier builds. Simple to adjust but found the sizing came up slightly small. The leather’s stood up well to regular use and still looks like new. Ideal for everyday use but the smart white stitching looked great when hunting. The neck strap was great for jumping and the detachable martingale was handy, too.

Gallop Five Point Breastplate
RRP
£49.99

Gallop Equestrian Five-point leather

Quality leather

Sheepskin pressure pads

Elastic webbing for maximum comfort

We say…

Offered a comfortable fit once adjusted but best suited to a chunkier build as it only came in one size so we had to make additional holes for the perfect fit. Easy to put on and take off, though some of the fittings were fiddly. It’s stood up well to regular use and the leather’s showing no real signs of wear. It didn’t restrict the horse’s movement and looks smart enough for competition.
