What does a breast collar do for a western saddle?

It anchors the saddle to the front of the horse so it does not slide back on climbs or fast stops. It also keeps the saddle centered on uneven ground.

Will it fit my horse?

Breast collars are adjusted at the straps to the horse's chest width and the saddle's rigging. A very broad or narrow chest may need a different size or strap setup.

Does it work with any western saddle?

It attaches at the front rigging points common to western saddles. Check that your saddle has those attachment points before buying.

Is the tooling and color just for show?

The tooled leather and multicolor finish are decorative. The working part is the leather strap across the chest and its fittings.

How should I care for the leather?

Wipe off dirt and sweat after rides and condition the leather regularly. Store it dry and out of direct sun to keep the tooling from drying and cracking.
