Cant see the picture clearly but is this actually a 3 point breast plate with martingale attachment? (if so its what im after!)

looks like a 5p to me, but can't be sure

What a terrible picture for an advert! I think it could be a 5 point by looking at the clips and fastenings, but I could be wrong!

mm, Its pretty rubbish isn't it! I couldn't make out 3 or 5 and cant enlarge. Assuming if the seller knew what it was they would have advertised as such?!
Will message them in case!

Ask them to email you a better photo

Pretty sure it's a 5point. You don't get those sheepskin pads on a Y-neck one.

You can do- I missed out on a lovely one off FB last week as I couldn't collect in time.

Ive never even used a 5 point- The additional fittings go to the girth straps right?

The top straps go to the D rings on your saddle, the next ones down go to your girth straps and then the martingale loop goes round the girth

Apologies! You may well be right here, Just noticed all the others I looked at don't have sheepskin. Perhaps my FB one just had sheepskin on the front?!

Yes, thought so! Cant really be bothered with all that! Im just looking to replace current 3 point as previous owners had one of the straps replaced and its far longer one side than the other which irritates me.

Do you have a leather repairer near to you? They'll shorten the strap for around £5 - £10; a lot cheaper than a new martingale!
