"A friend suggested this breastplate to me, and I'm glad she did!
It's definately worth the money, its such a beautiful breastplate!
It's definately worth the money, its such a beautiful breastplate!
I read the reviews and noticed how some people said it didnt oil well, so I was a little skeptical when I started oiling mine but it ended up oiling fine. Mine has no spots at all, and it darkened very easily after one coat of neatsfoot oil. I've had it for about a month now, and so far no problems here.
It does run large. I bought a cob-size for my stocky large pony (pony sizes are too small for her) and it's a little loose on her. But to be quite honest, it doesn't bother me since its so nice! I get a lot of compliments on it, and people are pretty quick to notice it's a nice breastplate. I'm so glad I spent the money on it, and I hope it lasts me awhile!"

"This breastplate is gorgeous and matches my antares saddle perfectly. As an added bonus the sharp blue and white elastic and padded leather makes my new guy look great! I looked at a lot of breastplates including other top brands and more budget friendly brands. This is by far the nicest one I found as far as quality and features go. It does run huge though so factor that into your ordering. I have a 16.3hh tb and he wears a 1. Can't comment on durability since I just received it a few weeks ago but love it so far."

"I have been very impressed with this breastplate. The craftsmanship is lovely; it looks very classy and sharp. The fit is great, both in the cob size I bought for a connemara and regular size for a 16.1 h jumper. The leather is breaking in well. Overall a very nice purchase, though it is a bit expensive!"

"LOVE IT. Fantastic quality and gorgeous. Can't comment too much on durability yet but not worried. Very well made. Also gets an "aah" from people who appreciate beautifully made tack...like me. :-) Fits my 17.3 horse well (size 2) so would have to be a big AND thick horse to need a (size 3). SmartPak very helpful in measuring neck elastic to decide size."

"I am very happy with this breastplate! It is a little pricey, but it's worth it. It keeps my saddle in place without restricting my horse's movement and the blue-and-white elastic is very classy in the show ring. The quality of the leather is nice and it's quick and easy to attach the breastplate to the saddle and girth. The leather is holding up quite well and it should last a long time."

"Again, not disappointed with Antares product. After my purchase of my Antares Jumping Saddle, I noticed my saddle slipping back. My trainer sent me back to SmartPak to find a breastplate and also a non-slip pad. I have to say, my non-slip pad fixed the situation but I am NOT giving up my breastplate. The Blue and White nylon looks so sharp and classy on my horse. I will save my breastplate for when I gain some confidence to step out of the sandy ring and begin to do a little cross country"

"I received this breastplate as my one and only gift for my 15th birthday. It is extremely expensive: let's just get over that right away because it is seriously worth every penny. I've always admired them, horses just look so good in blue and white, and they are just as good as you have ever imagined. Leather is soft, doesn't oil real dark with Hydrophane but Antares oil could have different results. If I wanted it darker I might try that, but it's darkened a touch with use and it is beautiful. The elastic is super durable, just a touch of give so that the horse can use its shoulders. Holds up great, cleans up well. I bought a 2 for my 16.2 Thoroughbred, I would definitely go for a 3 for anything bigger than that.
Buy it. Seriously, you will not regret it. It is effective, beautiful, and extraordinary quality."

"This is a genuinely stunning piece of equipment. It's been beautifully crafted and there was not a stitch out of place! I love the look of the blue and white elastic against the leather, and it matches my boy's Antares boots perfectly. However, like another poster, I had some very small issues with leather quality. Unfortunately the breastplate did not oil evenly all over, and there were a few patches that appeared to refuse oil. They are not large - quite small actually - and hardly visible, so it hasn't been a big concern. It's still a beautiful piece of equipment! I am really looking forward to showing with it this summer."

"This is my second review - my first was before I actually used the breastplate & it is gorgeous out of the box. I did oil it and condition it before using it but after only one event the leather is unevenly worn, colored and dry. I have been oiling it and conditioning it every night to try to restore it but a piece at this price point should be of much better quality."

"I get excited every time I use this breastplate! The leather is so soft and doesn't need oiled the way it is. I love love love how every piece has an easy clip instead of buckles. Fits my horse great, looks great. The elastic allows just enough stretch to be comfortable for my horse, but not too much to let my saddle slip. I love this breastplate."

"I was thrilled to get this breastplate for Christmas - it is a gorgeous piece of tack. I have the horse size for my 15.3h TB, I will need to punch a few holes to make the running martingale rings the correct length but the breastplate itself is slightly tight, which is good – a little room for the elastic to stretch as I’m sure it will as it breaks in so I’d say the sizing is pretty correct. It didn’t need much oil, the leather is very nice."

"I couldn't be happier with the quality of this breastplate! It more than lives up to the Antares name in tack. Nicely padded in all the right areas, supple leather and a perfect fit!"
