Breastplates

[Farasi]

Hi, have recently seen a number of top riders competing in both showjumping and eventing in breatplates which seem to attach to the girth rather than (or as well as) the D ring. I thought they looked very secure and my horse panics if the saddle moves at all when he violently sppoks! I just have never seen one for sale anywhere and can't seem to find one on the web despite many searches. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Would love one but very expensive. Not sure where you but one new, maybe the Devoucoux site?

There great, I have tried to make one of these, with a bit of sheepskin from a shop and a burgundy JW breastplate, obviously not as good as that one, but looks the same

I have a breastplate for sale that is like the one you want I think. If you PM me your email address I can send you a picture.

I've had similar problems trying to find a decent breastplate, its so confusing!!

Thanks for the advice, very useful the Devoucoux Breastplate is exactly what i meant. Hopefully it'll solve my slipy saddle and they look pretty stylish too. Thanks

If it helps I have a padded leather hunting breastplate (Shires I think) that attaches to the girth. That sounds like the sort of thing you're looking for? Got mine from local tack shop, £30 I think.
