Secure saddle stability with unrestricted shoulder freedom. The EcoRider SuperLux Leather Breastplate is a premium, ergonomically designed elasticated breastplate built to maintain your saddle's position over intense terrain while ensuring your horse can stretch and jump with absolute freedom.
Crafted from select, pre-conditioned softy leather cuts, this breastplate offers the signature immediate flexibility of the SuperLux range. By combining soft, flexible leather with durable, high-tension elasticated panels, it moulds comfortably around your horse's chest and shoulders, eliminating pressure points and preventing the friction or rubbing caused by traditional solid leather breastplates.
Key Performance Features:
- Ergonomic Chest & Shoulder Design: Padded leather and flexible elasticated bands shape naturally to your horse's build, diffusing pressure and allowing for maximum shoulder rotation and front-leg extension.
- Removable Martingale Attachment: Features a fully adjustable and removable running martingale attachment, allowing you to easily customize your setup for different training sessions or show-ring disciplines.
- Quick-Release Triggers: Designed for practicality and speed, equipped with high-durability quick-release snap clips that attach securely and effortlessly to the saddle D-rings and girth.
- Pre-Conditioned Softy EcoLeather: Naturally vegetable-tanned to strict REACH standards, ensuring a breathable, hypoallergenic, and immediately supple surface that is kind to sensitive skin.

Anatomical Configuration
Traditional rigid leather breastplates act like a tourniquet across the chest, restricting windpipe expansion and jamming the shoulder blade (scapula) during deep exhalations and jumps. The SuperLux Breastplate integrates high-flex elastic panels that expand dynamically with the horse's breathing and stride. The central padded bridge diffuses load over the sternum, avoiding localized muscle compression and allowing full, unrestrictive shoulder rotation.
Material Integrity & Care
Dynamic Fit Tip
💡 Pro-Tip: Adjust the breastplate so that you can easily slide a flat hand between the leather/elastic straps and the horse's shoulder. It should sit snugly enough to prevent saddle movement but loosely enough that it never pulls tight when the horse extends its head or shoulders over a fence.
