English breastplates and martingales are excellent additions to any rider’s standard horse tack. Breastplates are used to keep the saddle in place, while martingales help to keep the horse’s head from throwing. When considering size, a breastplate should not restrict the horse’s movement. Several styles are available to fit your riding style and your horse’s needs including padded breast collars, 5 point breastplates, elastic breastplates, adjustable martingales, running martingales and standard martingales to name a few.
