The Shires Hunting breastplate is the classic 3 point breastplate made of good quality leather. It consists of an adjustable neck and wither strap, a chest strap at the bottom which runs through the horse's front legs and attaches to the girth, and two straps at the top which attach to the D-rings of a saddle.
The hunting breastplate helps to prevent the saddle from slipping, and comes with a running martingale attachment that is buckled onto a ring at the chest. Because the hunting breastplate is attached to the D-rings of the saddle it is not as reliable as equipment attached to the saddle by means of the girth. Therefore, the breastgirth is sometimes preferred on cross-country.
The hunting breastplate also tends to have a restrictive effect on the shoulder, even when correctly fitted.
