Re: [IceHorses] breast collar
i think they are supposed to be snug the way you have it. The important part to me is the part you didnt fasten :) if too loose they can get a foot caught in it while swimming etc or it can go too high at the throat. Its awful handsome on him tho! and i see you just couldnt help but show off putting him on the box haha Janice -- even good horses have bad days sometimes.

Re: [IceHorses] breast collar
I am gonna strive for a more yeehaw redneck theme in icelandic tack and attire so they will be more north american than english. I think I will get some easy ride stirrups with tapadaros and see if I can find other ways to westernize my sensation. I am gonna order some conchos for the zilco that has little sapphires and thistle blossoms and put a long horse hair tassle shoo fly to hang from the girth and reins like parelli. I am a trend setter. I am also taking trausti to team penning lessons. janice janice -- even good horses have bad days sometimes.

Solon had a good look at the stirrups yesterday and then backed up a bit while still trying to sniff them. I just let him sniff awaygave him the time needed to sort things out.

Re: [IceHorses] breast collar
Hi WandaI wold strongly recommend that you get a english style breastcollar. The kind that also has a strap over the withers. This will give your pony some shoulder clearance. I think your BC is too small for your pony.

I thought it was too tight but thought perhaps someone might have some suggestions for modification. I'm thinking I might put in an order through Nicker's. Maybe they can make something that will match the saddle. http://www.nickerssaddlery.com/ Wanda
Re: [IceHorses] breast collar
Dan had one like that and I took a throat latch strap from a bridle and put it over the top of the withers for his horse so it fit better more like an english or aussie stile BC... it freed up his shoulders a great deal after that... -- My horses love their track system~ http://picasaweb.google.com/dakota.charm/TrackSystem The Soul of a Horse ~ has touched my soul, may it touch yours too! ~ thesoulofahorse.com ~

Yes, I didn't like the look of it. I thought it was too tight but thought perhaps someone might have some suggestions for modification. you could use a dog collar or other strap ti rig a over the withers strap, butI think it may still be too small.

Re: [IceHorses] breast collar
What do you all think? Too tight? Is there something I can adjust to make it work? I looked at some riders in western tack in some magazines, and it looks like the d-rings are typically lower on western saddles. Maybe that explains why it fit differently on the BMSS. That looks slightly snug to me, so the first thought might be to put longer straps to connect it to the saddle d-rings. But, if you wanted to add the over-the-withers strap, I think the strap might be too high on his neck, based on where those rings fall? Solon is a fairly large Icelandic, right? Maybe a western breast collar might be converted for a smaller Icelandic, but now i wonder if it's feasible for the larger ones. I may just have to order the sensation breast collar. I'll send a picture of Melnir's in a minute. Karen Thomas, NC
