🐴 HDR Pro 5 Point Elastic Breastplate for Cob Horses - Oak Bark Finish Review

Good quality but I was disappointed with the size. I ordered a horse size for my 15.3 arabian which is a bit tight but still SHOOTS in this piece. The straps that wrap around the billets are too big, and the piece that goes between his legs hangs too far down to be safe. Looks like I'll punch holes and trim off excess skin.

Excellent quality bib. The leather feels strong, the sheepskin is thick and soft and everything looks very nice. Very easy to set up. I had to return the full size I bought because even with the tightest adjustment it just swallowed my TB's shoulders (relatively large), but the Cob size I bought to replace it fits perfectly. I would recommend the full size for BB or draft only.

I love this bib! The leather is so nice and supple to begin with and the elastic is thick and stretchy. It attaches to D-rings and a strap for easy donning. I read other reviews and decided to get a cob size for my 15.2hh (normal shouldered) mare and I'm so glad I did. It is excellent for the tightest of openings. So if your horse is narrow-shouldered or smaller than my mare, this bib probably won't fit. I would give it 5 stars but sizing can definitely be an issue for smaller horses but when…

Love this bib! It looks great on my horse, matches all of my gear and most importantly it does its job! My saddle stays in place. I bought one for the size of the horse - I have a Percheron/Paint cross which is about 16.1 and is less like a Percheron than most crosses I've seen, but it has a fairly thick crest. I would say the horse is about the right size but carries most tackle in the tightest hole possible. He could fit on a much bigger horse than him. I think the quality of the leather is…

I'm giving this four stars because it's great but bad size. I bought a size 14.2 cob for my rescue gelding, but it turned out to be too big. I was expecting it because I checked the dimensions but ended up being good because there could be extra holes on every single part of this chest plate. This is a great quality I have had it since March 15th and have only collected it once about 3 days after receiving it. I'd also like to add that it's very easy to add holes to each piece (like I said…

Got it on the butt the way I wanted it and it is true to size! My appy usually fits the plunger and this is perfect for her. It was nice and flexible out of the box. Unfortunately, that doesn't match my 8 HDR number. The skin is very beautiful, as usual with HDR. I love all the hardware and buckles and I can just wipe the sweat off of them. 5 stars and would recommend to all my friends for the price! My appie doesn't use the walking martingale as it has been trained better, but it's good that…

Fantastic bib! I have a broad chested quarter horse and this bib suits him very well. It is made of high quality leather that hugs the neck to avoid chafing of the withers and is very easy to clean. I LOVE the clips between my legs and for the two D rings. makes it easier to put on and take off the breastplate. The only thing I don't like is that the two side connections (to the saddle blanks/strap) feel a bit long and therefore the elastic part dangles even when a few holes are punched. As a…

Beautiful breast collar. The leather is thick and has a nice weight and is conditioned but not overly so. I expect break-in time to be minimal and that after a little use, cleaning and conditioning as part of your normal cleaning routine, the part will soften even further. The haircut is beautifully finished and well done. Sheepskin pads are thick and seem durable. The buckles work smoothly and are in no way inferior to the bib in terms of quality. It exceeded my expectations in every respect…
