The Empathy MK3 Contour
Breastplate is a careful blend
of ancient and proven harness
systems, with lightweight
materials that combine
strength, with low maintenance
and maximum comfort.
Research into the
ideal breastplate shape has
been meticulously researched
right back to the days of the
charioteers of ancient Greece.
Studies of load bearing areas
and the horse's skeletal and
muscular anatomy have all been
taken into consideration. the
result is a breastplate that
combines the load bearing and
efficiency of a full
breastplate with lightness and
a more versatile and
adjustable fitting.
The MK3 Empathy works with the
horse's conformation by
allowing greater freedom of
movement through the shoulder,
enabling the horse to pull a
load with minimum restriction
to limb movement or pressure
on the shoulder joint.
The trace buckle
now features a pivoting ring
which allows a more
comfortable fit across the
shoulder, regardless of the
line of draft.
In
order to maintain the curved
shape, the Empathy Breastplate
is made with a central core of
Zilco strapping for maximum
strength under the toughest of
marathon conditions. It has
Zeather (Zilco synthetic
leather) lining on the bearing
surfaces with memory foam
padding and quick release,
stainless steel fittings.
