q re breastplates

[clairefeekerry1]

looking at these nice comp breastplates/5 point but noticed most have a clip on the end of the bit that goes under the horses front legs-what is it supposed to clip too? i thought the girth but not everyone has a girth you can clip something too? sorry maybe being real thick but can't see the point??

Mine doesnt have a clip!!
If they do, you can easily break the clip off and use them as a normal one!!

but a girth with a central d ring, or buy a traditional breastplate with a loop!

There is a clip and usually you need a girth with a d ring on it to attach to. I took the clip off and left the loop, which I just thread my girth through at the moment

I don't have a sensitive horse and it is a biothane endurance breastplate so I just wash it down evertyime. I suppose I could get a girth sleeve and get a d ring put on it.
