The most frequently asked question we get is...
"Does this Kentaur breastplate come with a clip so I can attach it to my girth?"
We thought that considering we get asked this more often than not; we would bypass our FAQ's Page and write a short blog post about it, to help clear the air!
So to begin, we have seven Kentaur breastplates in total that require being attached to the girth. Out of these seven, there are two different ways the end of the breastplate is made, which will impact how you attach it to your girth.
But to answer this question in short, Kentaur breastplates don't come standard with a clip however; they can be specially ordered with one, so keep reading!
#1: The bottom of the breastplate is fixed
When we say 'fixed' we mean the buckle shown in the image above cannot be completely undone however, it can be adjusted up or down to fit it correctly to your horse's chest.

As we said, it's very easy for us to order you any of these breastplates with a clip, but this will be specially ordered in for you and can take 6-8 weeks to arrive.
