About CWD martingales & breastplates
CWD designs leatherwork that balances control and freedom of movement—clean, close-contact shapes with supple padding and tidy hardware to stabilise the saddle and keep your rein aids clear.
Purpose-built support
Breastplates help keep the saddle from shifting on keen jumpers and across related distances, while martingales refine the line of the rein for a quieter contact when horses raise the head or get strong.
Popular styles
Our CWD selection typically includes running and standing martingales plus three-point, bridge and five-point breastplates with optional sheepskin or elastic inserts. Choose the mildest design that maintains consistent responses.
Materials & details
Vegetable-tanned leathers, smooth edging and corrosion-resistant fittings deliver everyday durability. Thoughtful touches—centre clips, girth loops, elastic at the shoulders and neatly positioned D-rings—make adjustments fast on busy show days.
Fit & sizing basics
A breastplate should steady the saddle without pulling: you should slide a flat hand under the wither/neck strap and see straight, untwisted straps to the girth. For a running martingale, when you lift the reins the rings should reach to the withers; always use rein stops.
Freedom through the shoulder
Keep shoulder points clear: elastic inserts or a correctly sized yoke allow the forehand to open over fences. Straps should lie flat without pinching at the elbow or across the windpipe.
Care & maintenance
Wipe sweat after riding, clean with mild saddle soap and condition sparingly. Check stitching, keepers and elastic routinely, and store away from heat and direct sunlight.
