< Then a person on the Recreational Driving list recommended that I use collars--something I have avoided because of fit. Since I don't do any "dirt work" would it be too bad to drive the pair in breast straps instead of collars? > Hi and welcome, newcomer, (You didn't mention your name) Frankly, I've used collars and breast collars and prefer the latter. Although you'll surely get some response on this question. You mention "breast straps".....how wide is the "strap". It should be a bit wide for the horse's sake, at least. When I was using the collars, I found fit was indeed a problem if either mare would gain wait. So I switched. It's strictly a personal preference. Anyone else?
