Re: [RC] breast collar accidents? - Annie George

I operated a pack string and hunting guide outfit for several years. Worked ranches and cattle outfits most of my life. Have ridden in country as rough as it comes.  Always used breast collars, and crupers, always will. Can't say I remember any 'major' catostrophys caused by having one. But I can remember several wrecks I have seen  other folks have caused by not having them. Annie G.

Subject: [RC] breast collar accidents?

We have heard from Heidi about " many wrecks caused by breast collars ", and
after having horses for 40 years, I must not ride where she does, as I truly
have not seen any breast collars cause wrecks, get caught on things etc.
etc. Have I just been lucky? Are there others here on Ridecamp that have
seen wrecks and accidents caused by breast collars? I know we often learn,
by others misfortune. I would be curious to hear how often others have seen
problems from properly adjusted, and fitting breast collars, used on trail
horses.
