Looking for Breast Plate seen at Olympics

[ali.s]

Hello, does anyone know where to get the breast plates that many riders were using at the Olympics? Scott Brash used one it was a three point that went to the girth instead of the D rings like a hunting breast plate would. My horse does not like anything on his shoulders and this looks ideal and better than my five point. Thanks for any help.

Do you mean this one?

^^^ That looks remarkably like a plain old running martingale!

I thought it was a bog standard running martingale too or maybe im just being a bit thick lol

 

[ali.s]

No thats a running martingale, I'm sure in a picture in the Mail he was using what I described. If not many other riders were using them.

I believe Scott's is provided by Walsh Harnesses http://www.walshharness.com/

The breastplate features in most of the jumping photos in the catalogue although there isn't a breasplate section- it just says they make them

What I saw him wearing in that pic was a standard running martingale, and in another just a standard elasticated chest girth thing? Do you mean something like this/these?

That's what I thought!!

I did see someone using one that I thought "What?!" about but I can't remember clearly what it was like or who it was.

The "breastplate" in the Walsh Harness catalogue pictures is a running martingale like the one you posted above

This is the one I think

Lol sorry I must be half asleep. I could have sworn there were breastgirths in some of those photos, as well as the running martingales. Long day

But he does get his leatherwork from Walsh

This?

Looks like a breast girth and 'normal' running martingale?

I know it isn't Scott... but this seems to be the prevailing preference this year..

 

[ali.s]

Yes thats the one I'm looking for sorry its not Scott but Peter Charles. Its not a running or elasticated one its as I described but wrong riders anyone know where to get one?

Look at the pic I posted - that's the one the OP meant.

 

[Nugget La Poneh]

If the horse doesn't like a 5 point, there isn't a huge difference between that and the leather breast girth that Dee posted in the picture above?

That breastplate is by CWD - I have one in black. Can't see it very well here, but only pic I have to hand -

 

[ali.s]

Have you seen the Solution breastgirth? It's fully elasticated and designed to be totally non restricting www.solution-saddles.co.uk/ssbreastgirth.html I haven't used one myself but I've seen one in action and was very impressed with how well it worked.
