Out of these seven, there are two different ways the end of the breastplate is made, which will impact how you attach it to your girth. But to answer this question in short, Kentaur breas ..read more

Slightly off the general topic of horses, sponsored riders, tack and competitions, however, still relevant for absolutely everyone. I'm going to say it and I know everyone has heard this a thousand times already, but COVID-19 has had a massive impact on our lives, and for the most part, this has not been a positive one. We all know someone who has lost their job or had to stop/limit working because the kids are home from school or businesses have closed. We all know someone terrified of making a family member who is immune deficient sick, and I'm truly sorry if someone you know has unfortunate ..read more
