[drivingpairs] hybrid crosses of neck and breast collars

Similar as in my post about bits and the questionable fashion of always 
trying to combine various different things to get the advantages of both and 
forgetting that perhaps the combination might also bring the disadvantages of 
both, I am careful if not perhaps the same holds true for the combination of 
neck and breast collars. I have not used them, but understand from friends in 
Europe that have used them, that similar to neck collars, they need to be 
extremely well made to fit properly and many cheap immitations do not fit 
properly and are doing more harm than good. But even the good ones have the 
problem that they cover a much larger area of the horse than either full 
collars nor breast collars and that many drivers feel they have problems with 
excessive heat built up under them that can't escape.
