I am finding myself throwing away a bunch of my old (very, very used)stuff and I am now in the search for the tack I would die for (hopefully not, I just really want to fall in love with it >vbg< ) Sooo, PLEASE, if anyone has any suggestions on some of the tack they are using I need to hear from you!!!

I have looked into biothane, but I really don't like how thin the straps are and since I am endulging for myself (I mean my horse, yeah.) I was thinking about the Zilco line. They just look really comfortable for the horse. Have any of you ever used that line and if so the standard, eurotech, or ztech model? Which one do you prefer, what does your horse think of it, are they really that easy to clean, and what color looks good on a grey horse >g<? Also, did you have to make any modifications to it? If there are any other brands of breast collars out there that you like more, what are they? 

I've had the Eurotech for almost a year and love it. Horse loves it too. Never rubs or galls, I dunk it to wash it and the padding is great. I got brown for my grey to match my Synergist. I got everything at the same time ending the great saddle and breastcollar hunt. My girl is very petite and most of the collar is on the last hole, but if it will fit her, it will fit anything. Her head is too small for an Arab sized bridle.
