Breastplates

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

Can anyone suggest any good breastplates for a person with a budget? Im planning to event in march and need a breastplate then, preferably with a martingle attached as although i do hav a martingale im sure i've seen them combined and this would look less err crowded if they were attached together lol

I have a kincade breastplate which came with a running martingale attachment, it was about £20 from rideaway, it's not english leather but it does the job!

My breastplate is a GFS one, excellent quality but slightly more expensive than the one helenandshadow has, think it was about £45. Comes with a martigale attachment which can be easily unclipped.

That sounds ideal,where did you get it from? WEbsite or tack shop?

I always had Boss in a breastgirth and separate martingale- never did him much harm

I have to admit I have nicked my sister's pony sized hunting breastplate for Moon as everything else is too big

I do as Boss does, martingale and breastgirth for coloured.

Have to say was looking for just a breastgirth in the saddlerys and could only fine the ones with martingale attachments - which looked v complicated and confusing but would do the job. Ah dear my head is spinning with all this eventing lark!

i have the same one and it's great. it looks like english leather (although i know it's not) and it functions the same as an expensive one.

I think I got it from either Townfields Saddlery or Ayr Equestrian - both have a website i think!

eBay - Dad is selling them for £14.99 + P&P as we need space for more fashionable items!

Yep me too! Its really smart, and means dont feel guilty for not cleaning regularly....

Am going to buy a breastgirth to though, so have 5points..... and i dont even use a martingale!!

I got a fab new hunter breastplate in the sale at Tackhaven (Dunstable) for a tenner!

Its great and really nice quality. Try ebay, I sold and elasticated Y-shaped breastplate on there with martingale attachment, it went for about £20.

Shires make a english jumping breastplate that is just under £20
