Frequently Asked Questions: Q: How do I ensure this breast collar is adjusted correctly for my horse?A: For optimal safety and performance, the collar should be adjusted so that the center ring is perfectly centered on the chest. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the strap and the horse’s chest when they are standing still to ensure freedom of movement without sacrificing security. Q: Is this breast collar durable enough for roping or ranch work?A: Yes. The "hot stuffed" leather is specifically chosen for its high tensile strength and ability to withstand the lateral pressure and high-torque maneuvers required in roping and ranching, while the doubled and stitched edges prevent stretching over time. Q: Will the black finish bleed onto my horse's coat?A: No, Weaver Leather uses a premium vegetable-tanning process and high-quality dyes that are designed to stay locked within the leather fibers, ensuring your horse stays clean and your tack stays looking professional.
