Jeffries Falcon Plain Hunting Breastplate

The Jeffries Falcon Plain Hunt Breastplate is made from classic, premium quality leather and is the most commonly used type of breastplate. It consists of a yoke (with a neck and wither strap), a breast strap at the bottom of the yoke which runs through the horse's front legs and attaches to the girth, and two straps at the top of the yoke which attach to the D-rings of a saddle. The hunting breastplate not only helps to prevent the saddle from slipping, but also may be used to attach standing and running martingales, which are clipped or buckled onto a ring at the chest. The hunting breastplate is worn by endurance horses, show hunters, fox hunters, equitation horses, eventers (it can be seen used in all three phases), and show jumpers. It is also occasionally see in flat racing, as well as steeplechase.
