What is a breast collar used for, same as a martingale2007-11-24 21:19:04Answers:

While a breast collar is used to keep a saddle in place, a well fitted saddle shouldn't need one. Martingales hold the head down, they don't train a horse to do anything. The minute you take it off, the head will go back up. Patience and time teaches a horse how to carry themselves with their head in the right position. I've spent more time retraining horses who've learned to use a martingale as a crutch to rest their heads on it that I would never recommend their use to anyone.

A breast collar is used to hold the saddle in place so that it doesn't slip backwards when you are going up a hill, jumping, or if the horse bucks. A martingale attaches to the breast collar and attaches to the reins. It is a training aid used to help keep a horse's head down.

Its to hold the saddle in place. Though alot of people use them to make their horse look good.

Breast collars are used to hold the saddle in place where a martingale is a training aid that encourages a horse to put it's head down. If you're showing a breast collar is legal and a martingale is general not (different if you're in a gimmick class). Breast collars used to be very popular for showing, but are out of style now. If your horse doesn't have great withers and you're just riding for fun, a breast collar would help keep the saddle in place, however if you're asking for showing, don't spend the money.

A breast collar is a strap that holds the saddle in place, it is specifically good for going uphill or in rugged area, such as trail riding. I have used the breast collar everytime i trail ride and it works!!

It is used to keep the saddle from sliding back, which is especially essential for ropers and barrel racers.

Breat collars keep the saddle from sliding back and martingales keep the horse from bad habits/makes them harder to do things such as rearing, crow hopping, of holding their head too high- it normally helps with head tossing too.

They are two different things.
