Schneiders® Anatomic Freedom 5-Point Breastplate with Running Attachment

A 5-point breastplate has attachment points at the girth and both saddle D-rings for maximum stability, while a 3-point uses fewer attachment points for lighter control. The Schneiders® Anatomic Freedom breastplate converts easily between both configurations, so you can adapt it to your specific saddle setup and riding discipline without buying two separate pieces.

This breastplate is crafted from premium Grade-A Indian buffalo leather, which is known for its strength and longevity. Combined with stainless steel hardware that resists corrosion, this construction is built to withstand regular training and competition use for years with proper care.

The Schneiders® Anatomic Freedom is designed as a versatile piece that works with most saddle setups. Since it converts from 5-point to 3-point configuration, you have flexibility in how you attach it—you can use both D-rings for maximum stability or adapt based on your saddle's attachment options. If you're unsure about your specific saddle, we'd recommend reaching out to our team at Schneider Saddlery for guidance.

Like all quality leather tack, this breastplate benefits from regular cleaning with saddle soap and conditioning with leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking. The stainless steel hardware requires minimal maintenance—just wipe it down occasionally to prevent dirt buildup. Proper storage in a cool, dry place will extend its lifespan significantly.

The anatomical design features contoured neck and chest panels that distribute pressure evenly across your horse's body, reducing pinching and discomfort compared to standard breastplates. The low-profile shape and multiple adjustment points work together to promote saddle stability without the bulk, helping keep your saddle secure during training and competition.

Yes, this breastplate includes a running attachment, which allows you to use it with running martingales for additional control if needed. The running attachment adds versatility, making this piece adaptable to various training situations and disciplines beyond just saddle stability.
