“Well they really do sell stuff that works. I am impressed.” My trainer has always had an open mind and both of us had seen the ad on social media so when I asked her what she thought she told me to go ahead and try it out.
But that it would make such a difference was I think a positive surprise.
I only started riding two and a half years ago when I was 38. So I tend to stay in my head a lot.
Using the breastplate today for the first time my trainer commented that not only were my hands in such a better position but my whole frame was more balanced.

As for me, it took a bit of getting used to (my right hand managed better than my left) but what I realized was how much I was relying on my reins versus this time, using the breastplate I only used my fingers and the rest was leg and body work, as it should be.
Another, psychological element was that I would give too much slack in the reins because I don’t want to hurt the horse’s mouth, which would ultimately lead to confusion.
So now I don’t have to worry about that and I cannot wait to continue my journey with them.

As for the service I can give 10 stars. I bought several items shortly one after another within a couple of hours and through email it was possible to still bundle everything together and save on postage.
I am a huge fan.
I still have the double neck strap to try and have a girth that was meant for a horse I ultimately didn’t decide to buy so I will most likely donate it to my stable for a school horse. They deserve the ultimate comfort in my opinion 🤗

Conclusion: great quality, it works and amazing service.
I will be back.

I was really impressed with the quality of the breastplate, though it runs a little smaller than you'd expect (so measure!). My 15.2 QH is a little stockier but not a tank like some can be and we're on the largest hole of the breastplate, same for the neck strap. I probably should have measured and gotten the size up, but alas. It took some trial and error to figure out a good adjustment for the T grips, and a learning curve to find the most comfortable way to hold them. My hands are decent at a trot, but start having a mind of their own at the canter as I lose confidence. These are a great reminder to keep them in check and out of my horses mouth. I also find them great when working on lateral work and turning on the forehand as my horse gets frustrated when I start "talking" too much with my hands. I saw someone added snaps for the grips to easily take off and on, I will probably do the same so I don't have to remember what hole and make adjustments every time I forget.

I bought this in hopes of helping my daughter transition her hands from western gaming to dressage. They helped within 1 lesson. I also used them to help keep my hands low and wide where my mare prefers and they definitely help! I'll continue to use this aid as I prepare for dressage tests after being a Western rider.

I’ve been wanting to try the Correct Connect 3-in-1 breastplate for a long time, and finally got one! The leather is super soft out of the bag, and the rubber on the inside of the neck strap is a big bonus. I’m working on really getting back in riding shape and getting used to a dressage saddle again. I could definitely tell a difference in my balance and connection using the hand toggles. Highly recommend!

Great quality!
