Deluxe Endurance Breastplate by Zilco

The Zilco Deluxe Endurance Breastplate is constructed with padded black PVC “waffle” material where it contacts the horse’s shoulder, helping distribute pressure evenly and enhance comfort. It is built for endurance or trail riding situations where consistent fit and durability matter, combining coated webbing, sturdy buckles and adjustable straps. Colour choices include Green, Red and Royal Blue (among a wider palette), and the size offered here is the Arab fit, which is tailored for the head/neck/shoulder dimensions of Arabian-type horses.

Usage

Target Species: Horses

Application: Used during endurance riding, trail work or long sessions where a breastplate is required to keep the saddle or pack securely positioned and prevent sliding backwards, while also maintaining freedom of movement for the shoulders.

Method:

• Select the correct size (Arab) and desired colour (Green, Red or Royal Blue).

• Attach the breastplate by connecting the straps to the saddle’s D-rings or terminal points, wrap the saddle girth strap and adjust the shoulder straps so the shoulder panels sit flat and snug without pinching.

• Ensure the central strap lies over the breastbone and is adjusted so the horse can move freely without restriction, yet the saddle remains stable.

• After riding, detach the breastplate, wipe off sweat and debris, allow the padded PVC area to air dry, inspect stitching and buckle integrity, and store in a dry tack room.

Frequency:

• Suitable for every endurance ride or trail session where extra saddle stability is required.

• Inspect before each use for padding integrity, webbing wear or buckle damage; replace if compromised.
