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

Dog Rescue Hero Posts: 1660 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.....
