5 Point Breastplate „W&S“ (Wide & Safe) PLUS with additional bridge/neck strap
W&S Breastplate as described in the main item, but equipped with an additional adjustable bridge strap over the horse’s neck.
Benefits: the entire breastplate fits closer and smoother to the horse’s neck. Easier breastplate adjustment and saddling since the bridge rests on top of the neck.
Additional holding possibility for the rider, e. g. during cross-country rides, hunts or eventing classes.

Special features and function
- For especially careful horses jumping with extremely bent forelegs, being in danger of getting entangled therefore, this breastplate can also be used without a martingale strap (reduced martingale effect via the wide breast belt laterally attached to the saddle).
- Wide, anatomically shaped, padded breastplate with specially designed neckline for optimal pressure distribution and saddle stabilization
- Most comprehensive adjustment possibilities, thus fitting for any type of warmblood horses
- Can be combined with an optional „Anti-Entangling Sleeve“ which substantially reduces the risk of the horse’s foreleg or shoe getting caught in the martingale strap over the fence, providing maximum safety for rider and horse
- Martingale strap fitted with removable, non-sewed snap hook which can be easily exchanged in case of damaging
- Adjustable martingale fork with snap hook
- Variable lateral and upper attachments in combination with neck straps with elastic inserts prevent the saddle from tilting upwards and slipping back
- Bib martingale attachment with swivel hook available as an accessory
- All main components can be re-ordered individually as spares
Application possibilities (4 Options):
1) Use of the „complete package” with martingale fork, martingale strap + anti-entangling sleeve – maximum security with full martingale effect
2) Use as a „normal“ breastplate with martingale fork and martingale strap, but without the optional sleeve
3) Use with martingale fork, but without martingale strap/sleeve, (reduced martingale effect, but simultaneously excluding any risk of entangling)
4) Use of the pure chest belt with neck straps for keeping the saddle in place
5) (Note: For horses with a difficult saddle position, withers or backbone shape, we recommend the additional use of „Non-Slip“ Gel Pads from Acavallo, Italy, which you can find in our online shop offer as well.)
