I've wondered if it's possible to add a wither strap to a western-style breast collar, like the endurance/hunter breastcollars have. It might not work, but it would be worth looking into. Janice, you might try comparing the dimensions of the Zilco breastcollar pieces to the western breastcollar pieces. It might not work, but if it does, you could preserve your set without spending a lot. Karen Thomas, NC
