Breastplates and Martingale Attachments

SUNKIST090888 · 06-17-2008, 05:43 PM

Hey guys, I'm helping my trainer find some tack for one of the lesson horses, and I'm not having that much luck so I need your help!

I need to find a cheap-ish (under $80 total preferably) english breastplate with a standing and running martingale attachment. We have a lesson horse who goes both hunters and eventing with students, and he has a regular running martingale and a regular standing martingale, but he holds his head low when he's walking on the buckle and the neckstraps of each always fall down his neck and get caught on his poll.

They don't have to all be sold together as one item, but they all need to come from the same place (so we only have to pay shipping once). She probably won't order from a random person or used tack site, just because she also has other stuff she's planning on ordering at the same time (bell boots and other stuff that just about any tack site should have anyway).

We would prefer a dark brown or havana color, and horse sized. The attachments should be the same color as the breastplate. Thanks in advance!

It's not cheap-ish, but it is in your price range! I have a brand new Dark Brown Bobby's English Tack breastplate with detachable running mart for $72 (retails for $99).

Also have some bells (S & M) and lots of other things - see my sig.

I just bought one yesterday with the standing attachment at HorseTown for $34.99. It's havana brown and horse-sized. I also did a "horse breastplate" search online and found a ton of them in all price ranges.

Thanks for your help guys. We ended up finding an inexpensive one that came with both attachments at a local tack shop.

I miss HorseTown SOOOOOO much! No other tack store will ever compare.
