CWD leatherwork blends refined French craftsmanship with rider-first ergonomics—close-contact shapes, soft padding, and tidy hardware that stabilizes the saddle while keeping rein aids clear.
Breastplates help prevent saddle shift on bold jumpers and in related distances, while martingales refine the rein line when a horse raises the head or gets strong—supporting quiet, consistent communication.
Our CWD lineup commonly covers running and standing martingales plus three-point, bridge, and five-point breastplates, with optional sheepskin or elastic inserts. Start with the mildest design that delivers reliable responses.
Vegetable-tanned leathers with smooth edging and corrosion-resistant hardware hold up to daily work. Smart touches—center clips, girth loops, elastic at the shoulders, and well-placed D-rings—make ringside adjustments quick.
A breastplate should steady the saddle without pull: a flat hand should slide under the wither/neck strap, with straight, untwisted straps to the girth. For a running martingale, lifted reins should bring the rings to the withers; always use rein stops.
Maintain clear shoulder movement: choose elastic inserts or the correct yoke length so the forehand can open over fences. Straps must lie flat without pinching at the elbow or pressing the windpipe.
Wipe off sweat after rides, clean with gentle saddle soap, and condition lightly. Inspect stitching, keepers, and elastic regularly; store away from heat and direct sun.
Shop CWD running/standing martingales and supportive breastplates to complete a polished, show-ready setup alongside your bridle and girth.
Running vs standing—how do I decide?
Running martingales act on the rein line only when needed and are common for jumpers; standing martingales give firmer, constant limitation and suit particular horses and classes. Choose the mildest approach that keeps the contact steady.
Three-point or five-point breastplate?
Three-point is lighter and simple; five-point distributes pressure more broadly and can feel more secure on very forward horses. Both should leave the shoulders free.
What’s correct breastplate tension?
It should prevent slip without pulling the saddle forward. You should slide a flat hand under the wither strap; keep straps straight and clear of the windpipe; recheck after girthing up.
Are these legal for my classes?
Generally yes for most jumper classes; hunter/equitation and young horse divisions can have specific rules. Confirm with your current governing-body rulebook.
