Classic Western Style Meets Functional Tack Design

The Professional's Choice Ring and Burgundy Tassel Breast Collar brings traditional western aesthetics to your working or show saddle setup. Built with the quality hardware and leather Professional's Choice is known for, this breast collar keeps your saddle secure during lateral work, steep terrain, or competitive events while adding a touch of classic ranch style with its burgundy accents and decorative tassels.

The ring-style design distributes pressure evenly across the chest and shoulders, preventing saddle slip without restricting shoulder movement. Adjustable straps let you dial in the perfect fit for your horse's conformation, whether you're riding a compact Quarter Horse or a broader-chested warmblood. The burgundy leather accents and tassels complement bay, sorrel, and chestnut coats beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this breast collar work with a saddle that has narrow tugs?

Yes, the Professional's Choice Ring and Burgundy Tassel Breast Collar uses a ring attachment system that works with standard tug widths. The rings slide onto your saddle tugs, and you can adjust the strap length to achieve proper positioning regardless of your saddle's specific tug configuration.

Q: How do I know if I need a breast collar versus a breastplate?

If you ride western or need to keep your saddle from sliding back on steep trails, a breast collar like this one is the right choice. Breastplates are typically English tack designed to prevent the saddle from sliding backward during jumping. This breast collar is purpose-built for western saddles and ranch work.

Q: Does the burgundy color fade or require special care?

The burgundy accents are dyed quality leather, not painted, so they'll develop a natural patina with use rather than flaking off. Standard leather care — wipe down after muddy rides, condition every few months — keeps both the natural and burgundy leather supple. Avoid soaking; spot clean as needed.
