The Peformance Breastplate was developed using Pliance Pressure mapping and Centaur Biomechanics gait analysis.Our testing into breastplate designs showed that using a breastplate has a significant negative effect on the horse’s action as he jumps.
Scientific trials have shown that the Fairfax Performance Breastplate does not interfere with the horse’s natural jumping action or shape over the fence.
International Event Rider Emily Baldwin Reviews the Fairfax Breastplate:
"My Advanced event horse Rinwood Cooley is a super jumper and I was worried that he was being restricted with the breastplate I'd been using. Since wearing the Fairfax breastplate he has been really able to use his shoulders and neck without being restricted. He jumped clear in his first 1m35 class last week, so I really think it's helping"
Handmade in the UK
This martingale is designed to be effective without interfering with a breastplate. The neck strap is stitched at the junction with the chest strap, eliminating the need for a bulky rubber ring
The fit can be precisely tuned using the buckle adjustments near the rings, and at the loop for the girth.
This martingale functions seamlessly with the Fairfax Performance Breastplate and, in order to make sure they work independently and don't interfere with each other, it should always be fitted over the breastplate -never underneath.
