Angel in a Sorrel Coat Posts: 16030 Location: In a happy place	Three 4 Luck - 2014-12-12 8:20 AM Some horses won't stride out in the front with one one. They don't like the feel of hitting the straps. If your saddle fits, it's just jewelry anyway. I don't ever ride one on my gelding at home and have forgotten it a few times making a run. I do use one on my young horses every ride, to accustom them to it, and as a precaution for preventing a wreck. Oh YAY! Your Eyore (sp) is back. I am sssooooooo happy.

Texas Lone Star Posts: 5318 Location: where ever my L/Q trl is parked	I use both... back in 2000 I believe- I was at a NBHA Super show riding a newer saddle with all new tack. The off billet ripped straight down from hole to end as I was coming around the 1st barrel. The saddle slid to the left and half way across, thinking the saddle just slipped and if I could balance till I got to the second barrel I could straighten up. Not, saddle kept going till I finally had to drop to the ground. The breast collar kept the saddle from going under my mare. I've always used one and the rear cinch although the rear has never done much.

Just seems like something is missing. I always wondered why she didnt use one. I don't remember Charmayne using one on Grasshopper when she ran in the American Rodeo this past March either. Could be some horses just don't like the pressure on their chest and shoulders. My old barrel mare didn't like a breastcollar. She wouldn't stretch out and run. Come to find out she had arthritis/bursitis in her left shoulder.
