Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Is this breast collar sturdy enough for daily roping and steer tripping? A: Absolutely. This is a heavy-duty masterpiece engineered specifically for the high-impact forces of steer tripping. It provides the ultimate anchor to keep your gear from shifting during high-tension maneuvers. Q: How do I ensure the best fit for my horse’s range of motion? A: To prevent binding during athletic maneuvers, adjust the collar to sit above the point of the shoulder. Because of the heavy 3.25" width, we strongly recommend using a wither strap to prevent the leather from sagging and interfering with front-leg movement. Q: How do I maintain the Herman Oak leather? A: To keep your steer tripping gear supple and prevent cracking, we recommend regular cleaning with a high-quality saddle soap followed by a light coat of pure Neatsfoot oil, especially after heavy use in high-sweat environments.
