With a wide range of width, materials, tooling, and colors available, riders can compare styles, select options, and explore the western breast collar designs trusted by horsemen across many disciplines.

Pulling Collars
Pulling Collars

Pulling breast collars are popular among Western riders, especially ranchers and ropers. Instead of crossing a horse's chest from side-to-side, pulling breast collars sit above the line of a horse's shoulders and buckle around the pommel of the saddle. According to ranchers, ropers, and others that prefer this style of breast collar, pulling breast collars allow the horse more freedom of shoulder movement and better leverage when pulling.

Roping Breast Collars

Roping Breast Collars are typically wider and more durable to hold up for the sport. We do have multiple options including different colors, styles, thicknesses, and more so you can find the perfect one for you! 

Wither Straps
Wither Straps

Wither Straps help hold the breast collar in the right position. Sometimes the breast collar might fall down or slide to the wrong position as the day goes on. The wither strap helps by lifting the breast collar and holding it into place by laying across the top of the neck and hooking to each side of the breast collar. We have many different styles available!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between breast collar styles?

Shapes vary by discipline. Pulling collars sit higher for ranch and working horses giving more freedom in the shoulder movement, while traditional breast collars and wide breast collars work well for trail or arena riding.

Do you carry both leather and synthetic breast collars?

Yes. We offer premium leather breast collars along with select synthetic and hybrid materials, depending on rider preference and chosen discipline.

How do I choose the right width for my horse?

Width affects both stability and comfort. Wider collars distribute pressure better across the horse’s chest, while narrower styles work well for speed events like barrel racing.

Can you help me match a collar to my saddle and tack?

Absolutely. Our team can help you choose colors, stainless steel hardware, tooling, and attachment styles that fit your existing tack setup.

Do breast collars ever go on sale?

Yes. We frequently offer promotions on select breast collars and tack. Visit the shop or contact us to see current discounts.
