With the cross breeding and conformation of certain breeds and certain horses it is sometimes difficult to get a breast collar fit that allows unrestricted breathing yet sits above the point of shoulder to allow free movement. This led to the development of shaped breast collars such as empathy collars which are very popular in horse driving trials. On the most up-to-date designs the trace buckle fits on a ring which allows the traces to slope down to the low single trees of modern sports carriages without forcing the collar up at the front. The design is cut high over the shoulder to ease restriction of this key area. On older designs it is important to make sure the more rigid line of draught does not force the top edge of the collar into the chest. Includes Traces. Available in Black Finished with stainless steel plated fittings NOT THE COMPLETE HARNESS SET! Many trainers prefer harnesses with full collars, or hames collars, over breast collar harnesses. Collars allow the horse to support his load with his whole body while keeping his shoulders free. Unfortunately, full collars are difficult to fit, and the fit must be precise to avoid injury to the horse. If the collar is too wide, the pressure will be uneven, resulting in a rocking motion and causing sores on the shoulder. Too narrow can constrict circulation, causing muscle cramps, pain and stress. Too short a collar puts pressure on the horse's windpipe, while too long will cause sores on the point of his shoulder and the collar to rise up. Proper measurements only require a few steps. To measure the neck, I typically recommend using a pliable wire to measure that part of the neck where the collar will sit. Once that figure is derived, use the long diameter distance to figure out the length for the collar. That is the inside measurement of the collar. If you have a collar that fits your horse, measure it as shown on drawing of collar. Inside measurement only is needed. Good quality stitching and the best craftsmanship money can buy.
