Freejump The New Collar Breastplate Neck Strap
Description
Freejump The New Collar Breastplate Neck Strap
The Freejump New Collar is a riding aid that sits along the base of the horse's neck and gives the rider a secure point of contact, helping to establish a direct, respectful connection with the horse while maintaining steady contact at the mouth. It is best for riders working on a balanced seat and a light, responsive hand, and for instructors teaching students; it is also designed to assist with difficult, sensitive or overly reactive horses.
Made from rot-proof EVA foam and leather, it attaches to the saddle hooks and is supplied with two elastics and two T handles so the amount of give can be tailored to your horse. Developed in collaboration with Eric Navet and recommended by Ludger Beerbaum, it is widely used by professionals and training schools.

How to Use
- Attach the collar to the hooks on your saddle.
- Fasten the two adjustment buckles so the collar sits neatly along the base of the neckline, flat and level, without restricting the shoulder.
- Fit one or both elastics and set the length using the two buckles, so there is contact without constant pull.
- Add the T handles where you want to take hold, positioning them within comfortable reach in your normal riding position.
- Ride in and re-check the adjustment over the next few sessions; optimal adjustment is typically achieved after several rides.
- Rinse or wash with water after use and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat.
