I brought an Amigo breast plate last year and to be honest I was quite disappointed with the quality. It was stiff and absolutely stank, was definitely not English leather. For the price I expected a lot more, especially as it came from Horseware.

Have you looks at the collegiate range? That's middle of the road price wise and I think the quality is really good!

I have the breastplate and i love it i use all the time.

I ditto collegiate and DH breastplates are very nice too - although the havana is more of a light brown. Obviously both will still need oiling to get the best out of them. I used Hydrophane leather dressing on mine and they are as good as new 12 months later.

Got the elasticated breastplate and love it - sadly it is just too big but I am going to replace it with the same but next size down!

Had lots of admiration from others too.

My Friend has the Amigo bridle. Personally I wouldn't get one as I thought the quality was rubbish. She's had it about a year & already looks 'very worn' & really will need replacing soon

I would suggest looking at other brands as others have suggested.

I bought a 2nd hand Lemetex bridle at the same time as she bought her Amigo bridle. We paid very similar prices but mine was far better quality & still looks the business now
