| Who has them, uses them and likes them? I'm wondering if they are worth the cost. Anyone not like them? |

Location: North Dakota | I bought one a few years ago to use and now have phased out and sold all my fancy leather ones. I love them. They are so easy to clean and I use mine for every day riding and after a bath they still look as nice as the day I got it.

Skye Ogilvie with Cielo Cinches. She has a FB page. She makes beautiful patterns and also does custom work. I had her make a simple one with our brand on it and was very happy with how it turned out. |

| I use the Martin ones. They aren't as fancy as the 5Star and others, but neither is the price. I love mine. |

That's also who made the one I had, and my sis-in-law has 2.
GREAT quality and good prices also. |

^^^Same. The Martin one is nice. I didn't need fancy. |

Location: Running barrels or watching nascar | I have a horse that doesn't like a lot on her chest so for a while I took my leather breastcollar off. Then decided I needed a breastcollar again so switched to a mohair. Have them on both my saddles now. Got them from State Line Tack. |

Location: Southern Indiana | My mare sweats excessively and I was tired of having to clean my nice heritage brand breastcollar, so I purchased one from cielo cinches. I love it! It’s so cute! It’s a little over a year old and still looks basically new. I think I’ve only washed it once. |

| Mine is from Cielo Cinches as well. Love it! Skye had quite a wait period last I asked, but she does post some on her Facebook page occasionally that are available to purchase.
I also have one from Dirt Road Designs that appears to be of great quality - but have not used it yet. It's brand new so I am waiting for the horses to shed their winter coats LOL.

Location: Illinois | I've been using a mohair breast collar for over 12 years now, I like the movement of them. I just have plain natural though, the one that lasted the full 12 years so far has been the good ol Billy Cook brand, which has surprised me. I use them for everyday, occasionally to run in but if I'm somewhere that's taking pictures I'll throw my custom leather one on. I just ordered a custom one from 100% Mohair Tack and am looking forward to getting it. I have seen a couple from her around and was super impressed, they were very distinct and stood out to me. Slightly more expensive but the quality and contrast of the colors seemed worth it to me |

Location: Spokompton, Wa | I have one that I used once. I sold the horse I used it on. It's just sitting around so I've tried selling it and can't even get a hit! Not sure why. It's really nice. Made by Cielo Cinches. |
