The breastcollar only really “touches” the saddle over fences. It stays in place on the flat, but I never flat around in it - if I’m flatting, I’m in a dressage saddle, if I’m jumping, I need the collar. He just moves so much over a jump, the saddle doesn’t really have a chance.
I’ll look into the different version! I think a friend might have one I can borrow.
From the jumping shot, it looks like your saddle flap is right behind his shoulder, which is where it should be. In some horses, the shoulder lays way back. We are leasing such a horse. If you put the saddle where people are used to seeing it, his shoulder will move it back where it’s out of the way. Thus, we get comments that the saddle is “too far back” but it’s not. Farther forward and it’s on his shoulder, and who wants that?
