Location: N Texas | Other than not knowing any better, is there a reason this breast collar would be attached like this? Just curious if this was done intentionally for a specific purpose

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | I had an aussie saddle that used that type of breastcollar. It's similar to the way a pleasure driving harness is made. Attaches at the girth and up over the neck. I'm guessing that is what is going on with this picture.
Google aussie western breastplate maybe

| It is just a different type. Its a version of a tripping collar. Some of the old time ranchers use them in the steep country to avoid presure on the lower windpipe. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | It's made to be used that way, but not something I would use on a barrel horse because it can inhibit a full extension of their front legs. |

I couldn't find anything Aussie that looked like it, but did find a polo pony with a similar one:

Yeah, it's attached way too low...on an English saddle it would sit higher. |

| I was looking at that and thinking how it would help me. My cinch is always scooting back no matter what I try. That might hold it. IDK... |

Location: North Dakota | It's a breast girth. Not very popular anymore. Usually used on English horses (but the 5 point breastplate has become the thing to have in the jumper/eventer worlds). |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | That style of breast collar is on properly. This design was before the traditional dee rings were put into place as you see today.Sometimes I just want to go back to that style so the breast collar doesn't go into choke mode on my horse. It was happening before you were born...LOL |

Location: Oklahoma City OK | I attach the breast collar to the UPPER ring of the cinch latigo strap for 2 reasons: a) I'm old and used to saddles without the upper ring for breast collars and old habits die hard and b) I feel the pull/strain from the breast collar is more of a forward pull than a downward pull across the withers/shoulder. I don't use a back cinch and I feel this placement keeps the saddle flatter in back than if attached to the upper breast collar ring. Just my opinion. I sure wouldn't crucify anyone for fastening as in the photo.....
