Unprecedented shoulder freedom and pressure-free saddle stability. The EcoRider Ultra Comfort Tara Breastplate is an elite, ergonomically cut breastplate designed to work in absolute harmony with your horse's natural movement.
Crafted from our finest vegetable-tanned Ultra Comfort Leather and deeply heat-pressed with our natural balsam formula, this breastplate is exceptionally supple from the very first use. Featuring generous, thick protective padding at the chest and wither, paired with robust elasticated panels, it alleviates peak pressure points whilst keeping your saddle securely in place over any terrain.
Key Performance Features:
- Ergonomic Contour Cut: The specialized shape curves around the horse's shoulders and neck, distributing weight and allowing full shoulder rotation and stride extension.
- Thick Protective Padding: Luxurious, super-soft padding at the wither and central chest plate provides a superior protective barrier against chafing and rubs.
- High-Flex Elastic Inserts: Durable, high-tension elasticated panels flex dynamically as your horse moves, jumps, and inhales, preventing restrictive chest tightness.
- Removable Martingale Attachment: Complete with a fully adjustable running martingale attachment that can be detached in seconds using durable snaps.
- Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Hardware: High-grade, rust-resistant buckles and snap clips ensure reliable, long-term security in all riding conditions.

Anatomical Configuration
Traditional solid leather breastplates can act like a tight band across the horse's windpipe and chest muscles, restricting oxygen intake and compressing the scapula shoulder blade. The Tara Breastplate features an ergonomic cutback that arches clear of the shoulder joints, while high-density elastic inserts expand dynamically with the horse's breathing. Thick padding at the sternum and wither protects the horse's bony landmarks, preventing pressure galls and supporting a relaxed, forward stride.

Dynamic Fit Tip
💡 Pro-Tip: When fitting the Tara Breastplate, adjust the straps so you can comfortably slide a flat hand under the shoulder elastic and the chest plate. Ensure that the wither pad sits centered over the base of the neck without pulling the saddle pommel down.
