Shires Salisbury 3 Point Breastplates

The Shires Three Point (hunting) Breastplates are made from beautiful quality Salisbury leather.

The 3 point breastplates feature contrast stitching, padding at the withers and elastic inserts at the shoulders to allow movement.

The Shires three point breastplates also feature a detachable running martingale attachment, adjustable shoulder straps and stainless steel or brass fittings.

The hunting breastplate helps to prevent the saddle from slipping, and comes with a running martingale attachment that is buckled onto a ring at the chest. Because the hunting breastplate is attached to the D-rings of the saddle it is not as reliable as equipment attached to the saddle by means of the girth. Therefore, the breastgirth is sometimes preferred on cross-country. The hunting breastplate also tends to have a restrictive effect on the shoulder, even when correctly fitted.
