Description
Our 3-in-1 Training Breastplate combines stunning craftsmanship with the practical functionality of using it as a plain breastplate, with a neck strap, or with its unique training attachment. Adjustable leather and elastic breastplate attaches to the D-Rings for saddle stability allows for freedom of movement in the shoulder.
- Rubber lined Leather Attachable neck strap to conform to FEI neck strap rule.
- Loop to attach standing or running martingale.
- Fully adjustable and detachable leather T grips to help riders learn hand position stability and understand the horses seeking reflex to ride forward to the bridle. Great for dressage and jumping!
- Consider warming your horse up before using the t-grips and make sure they are loose enough to keep from restricting your arms too much.
- We recommend using under the watchful eye of a qualified instructor for best results!
How it works:
The T-Grips attached to the breastplate limit the amount the rider can pull back while connecting the hands in a straight line from the bit to the elbow. This encourages a softer elbow and a more relaxed connection. Horses tend to be more uphill in a more correct carriage when ridden in this aid.
This 3-in-1 Training Breastplate does not rely on leverage and is not a shortcut. It does not force a horse's head into a locked position but instead helps the RIDER find the correct forward feeling of riding a horse into the contact.
Fit and Size:
Pony: 40"-49" or 102cm-124.5cm
Full: 49"-62" or 102cm-158cm
Extra Full: 58"-66"or 147cm-168cm
Using a measuring tape, measure from D-Ring to D-Ring around the horse's chest. Measurements can be a little loose as you do not want the breastplate too tight and the T-Grips should not be too low.
