Sometimes referred to as a "breastcollar", breastplates are designed to prevent the harness saddle from slipping backwards.
The Buxton breastplate is the most commonly seen in modern harness racing, and named after Ohio-based trainer Dick Buxton, who was the first to use this design on Standardbreds in the early 1960's.
This is an economical alternative to other Buxton Breastplates in our range, being made from polypropylene webbing. It has fleece covers on the bearing surfaces to help reduce chafing. These covers are removable for washing.
