The FAQ worth writing a blog about

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.

How to attach these breastplates to your girth:

  3. If you prefer a clip, please contact us, and for an additional AU $30.00 we will special order the breastplate you want with a clip.

We hope this has clarified things a little more. Although the Kentaur breastplates don't come standard with a clip, there are a variety of different ways you can attach them to your girths, and it's very dependant on the type of girth you already have! 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.

If you're unsure, contact us, and we can chat about your current set up and make sure we get you a breastplate that's going to work for you!
