Help with Breast Collar

[JLD]

Hi,

Some help please. I have decided that my stitching needs some serious practice so I decided to make a roper stlye breast collar for my own use. That way only my horse get embarassed (apart from me) at the stitching and I thought the long runs of stitching would make perfect practice.

My problem is that I have a full size breast collar which just about gives one of my regular size horses (Quarter Horse) a wedgie (between his front legs) if I put it on him. So I had a bright idea of buying a full size roper style breast collar from the USA (I am an Aussie) well this arrived and apart from longer connector straps actually is smaller that the first one I had.

Can someone give me some sizes for the breast straps so they dont look like I am trying the squeeze my horses into miniature gear. please.

If it were me, I'd probably measure the horse (center of chest to end of D). Then allow for the D ring and the center ring. That way you can make your breast collar fit exactly how you want it, and to fit your horse perfectly.
