Give your horse the freedom to reach and the leverage to pull with a design that stays out of the way of their natural stride. The Weaver Leather Dawn Buckstitch Pulling Breast Collar combines rugged roughout durability with a high-set fit that prevents saddle slip on the steepest trails or during the heaviest ranch chores. Handcrafted from world-renowned Hermann Oak® russet harness leather, this breast collar is built for the rigors of daily ranch life while maintaining a high-end, professional aesthetic. The oiled leather offers a supple, "broken-in" feel right out of the box, while the roughout finish provides superior grip and hides the inevitable scuffs and scratches that come with hard work in the arena or on the range. Key Features & Specifications: Functional Pulling Design: Engineered to sit higher on the chest and wrap around the saddle pommel, providing maximum leverage for roping and total shoulder clearance for unrestricted movement. Hermann Oak® Russet Leather: Handcrafted from premium oiled harness leather, known globally for its exceptional strength, durability, and ability to withstand the elements. Rugged Roughout Finish: The textured roughout leather is a top choice for working riders, offering extra grip and a surface that hides wear better than traditional smooth leather. Decorative Buckstitch Detail: Features hand-sewn chocolate leather buckstitching along the straps, providing a classic, custom-made look that complements the Dawn Collection. Stainless Steel Hardware: Equipped with heavy-duty, non-rust hardware to ensure longevity and resistance against corrosive horse sweat and moisture. Adjustable Horse Sizing: Designed to fit standard Western stock horses (approx. 1,000–1,200 lbs) with significant adjustability in the tugs for a precision fit. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Why should I choose a "Pulling" collar over a standard T-style breast collar?A: Unlike traditional collars that can restrict the shoulders or press on the windpipe, a pulling collar attaches higher to the saddle swells. This keeps the chest clear for heavy pulling and prevents the saddle from sliding back on steep inclines, making it ideal for roping and mountain trail riding. Q: How do I ensure the buckstitching stays in good condition during daily work?A: The chocolate buckstitch is made from heavy-duty leather lacing designed for ranch use. To ensure its longevity, simply keep the lacing free of grit and dried sweat, as trapped dirt is the primary cause of friction and wear on decorative stitching. Item Number/SKU: 40076-35-20
