This 5 point V Check  Breastplate with Running Martingale attachment, is made to suit the everyday rider.  It is handmade from good quality leather hides, sheepskin padding and with stainless steel fittings. 

This type of breastplate is widely used by International event riders who need the comfort that their saddle is not going to move under any conditions and who also need to ensure that their horse's comfort (and therefore performance) is not going to be hampered.  Whether you are a serious competitor or a happy hacker, this breastplate offers you the security and confidence to tackle any terrain safely.

The 5 point V Check breastplate offers more security than a conventional breastplate as it has the addition of straps going back to the girth straps, as well as the saddle D rings, effectively giving you the security of a conventional breastplate and breast girth in one piece.  It comprises a strap across the horse's withers with straps going back to the D rings of the saddle.  These buckle onto the D rings and are both full adjustable. 

The sides of the neck piece which run round the horse's neck are made of extra strong, double thickness elastic for freedom of movement during galloping and jumping, these then fold back at mid point and are attached to the girth straps via adjustable leather straps for ultimate saddle stability.  The fold points are padded with luxurious real sheepskin for comfort to the horse.  The lower part of the neck straps are leather.  The girth strap is adjustable between the horse's legs. 

This breastplate also comes with a detachable running martingale (so you can quickly put it on after the dressage), the point that the martingale joins the chest ring is also padded with sheeskin. 

 The 5 point V Check Breastplate is available in Black only and one size which will adjust to fit cob size up to full horse size.
