breast collars

< If you use a breast collar in an endurance ride, it will make
you horse lame!>

If this were true, almost every horse on the endurance trail would be
dead lame.  And I'd rather used a well made, properly fitted breast
collar that keeps my saddle in place, than cinch the girth down real
tight.
