Jeffries 5 point breastplate....retarded sizing?!......

[VictoriaEDT]

Charlie cob had a new saddle made for him before Christmas but unfortunately he had a "loaded shoulder" so the saddler suggested getting a 5 point breastplate to stop the saddle slipping back.
So today I bought a lovely Jeffries FULL SIZE breast plate and whether I am being retarded or Jeffries are but it is tiny! Far too small for charlie and my slighter but taller Romeo........does anyone else have this problem?

my 16.3h ISH finds his a little bit tight too :/ but its usable

thanks, Im going to have to take it back as it only gets half way to where it is supposed to be!

And I am quite sure Jeffries are being sizest and only want their gear to be seen on the "elite athletes"!!!!

Im annoyed because I got it 15% off at Unicorn today and now it has to go back and will have to get my saddler to make his "outsize clothes" at some extortionate price!

Nice website by the way Ellie!

Bought one for my heavy weight cob, but it had elasticed straps going round neck to saddle if that sounds sensible and it fitted him beautifully,used it through the summer but lost my cob in the autumn with a heart attack so it's up in the loft with the rest of his tack.

John I am sorry to hear about losing your chap

Don;t they do an xfull size now in those?

I got one at Badminton, but it's not a Jeffries - by a company called Salamo (or something like that?!)

Fantastic quality and fits Jazzy (17.2hh Cleveland Bay x) really nicely, with lots of holes to spare!!!

Worth a try xx
