Fully shortened, this collar measures 45\" from the tip of one tug strap to the tip of the other, and fully extended it measures 55\", with each tug adjusting from 5.5\" to 11\". To check your rig, run a tape from your saddle's front rigging dee, across the chest at breast collar height, to the other rigging dee. If that number lands between 45\" and 55\", it fits with room to adjust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it match the rest of my pink tack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/western-wither-strap\"\u003eWestern Wither Strap\u003c\/a\u003e is offered in the same pink buckstitch, cut from the same hide in the same shop, so the collar and the strap read as one piece rather than two near-misses. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pink-buckstitch-split-one-ear-headstall\"\u003ePink Buckstitch Split One Ear Headstall\u003c\/a\u003e completes the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a wither strap with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMost riders should have one. Without it a breast collar rides low, binds the shoulders and pulls the saddle out of position — and cranking the straps tighter does not fix it. The wither strap lays over the withers and holds the collar at the right height across the chest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if the tug straps wear out?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nReplace them, not the collar.
