Premium European Leather Construction

Crafted from carefully selected European leather, this breastplate offers a supple feel with the strength required for regular training and competition use. The eco friendly vegetable tanned leather enhances softness while ensuring durability over time.

Hand stitched in self colour thread, the leatherwork reflects the high standards of the Velociti LUSSO collection. The deep black finish delivers a polished look that pairs seamlessly with black saddlery.

Close Contact Design for Freedom of Movement

The streamlined close contact design sits neatly against the horse’s shoulder and chest, reducing excess bulk while maintaining effective support. This allows greater freedom through the shoulder, which is particularly important during jumping efforts and galloping work.

By keeping the saddle securely positioned without restricting movement, the breastplate supports both performance and comfort.

Adjustable Fit for Secure Stability

Multiple adjustment points allow riders to achieve a precise and balanced fit. Adjustable straps ensure correct positioning to suit different horses and saddle types, while maintaining consistent stability during work.

Secure stainless steel fittings provide reliable attachment to the saddle and girth, helping prevent unwanted movement throughout training or competition.

Comfort Focused Detailing

Generous leather padding at key contact areas enhances comfort and helps minimise the risk of rubbing. Smooth edges and quality finishing contribute to a comfortable fit against the horse’s chest.

This thoughtful design makes the breastplate suitable for both high intensity competition and everyday schooling sessions.

High Shine Stainless Steel Hardware

Finished with polished stainless steel fittings, the LUSSO Opus Close Contact Breastplate offers durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean, professional aesthetic. The hardware complements the black leather for a coordinated and elegant look.
