Shires Velociti LUSSO Opus Close Contact Breastplate Havana

Shires Velociti LUSSO Opus Close Contact Breastplate Havana

Enhance saddle stability and comfort with the Shires Velociti LUSSO Opus Close Contact Breastplate Havana. Crafted from premium European leather, this elegant breastplate combines refined styling with advanced comfort features, making it suitable for both competition and everyday riding.

Part of the Velociti LUSSO Opus collection, it is designed to offer a close contact feel while supporting the horse during work.

Premium Leather Craftsmanship

Expertly crafted from high quality European leather, the Opus Close Contact Breastplate offers a supple feel with long lasting durability. Hand finished with classic stitching detail, it provides a smart and polished appearance suitable for a range of disciplines.

This combination of quality materials and craftsmanship ensures both performance and style.

Close Contact Design for Freedom of Movement

The close contact design allows the breastplate to sit neatly against the horse, helping maintain a natural feel while supporting saddle stability. A wide, cushioned neck piece helps distribute pressure evenly, promoting comfort and freedom of movement.

This makes it ideal for horses that benefit from secure yet unobtrusive support.

Comfort Focused Padding

Soft leather covered padding with anti shock properties helps improve comfort during use. The roll away edge design reduces the risk of rubbing, supporting the horse during longer sessions or more demanding work.

This attention to comfort helps ensure consistent performance and wellbeing.

Secure and Practical Fit

The breastplate features adjustable straps to allow a precise and secure fit for different horses. Saddle straps with loop ends thread easily onto girth straps, creating a streamlined and stable setup.

A padded girth attachment with a trigger clip allows for quick and convenient fastening to the girth centre ring.

Versatile with Detachable Martingale

A detachable running martingale adds versatility, allowing riders to adapt the breastplate to suit different riding needs. Clip rings and secure buckling ensure easy attachment and removal when required.

This flexibility makes it suitable for a variety of disciplines and training situations.

Elegant and Practical Design

The Velociti LUSSO Opus range combines traditional styling with modern comfort features. Finished with high shine stainless steel hardware and refined detailing, this breastplate offers a smart and professional look in the saddle.

The Havana colour provides a classic finish that pairs well with a wide range of tack.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

We want to be crystal clear when it comes to managing your expectations; our website is stock managed to show you what items are available for same day dispatch and those which are externally warehoused and therefore, will take a little longer to arrive with you.

Simply make your product selections and a message will pop up telling you how long it will take us to dispatch your order; we call this our product availability message.  If you are happy with the product availability message on the item, checkout your order and we will ship your order in the timeframe stated.

If you have lots of items in your basket, please use the longest product availability message to work out when your order will arrive.  We care about our environmental impact, so we don't split ship orders unless you get in touch to request that we do so.  We will let you know on your order confirmation when we expect your order will arrive with you.

Whilst we do our best to meet the handling times stated in the product availability message, occasionally we can experience some delays in the delivery network.  At these times, a team member will email you to keep you updated on the progress of your order.

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not change our expected handling times; the service selected is always from the point of despatch not purchase.

If you do require an order urgently, please contact us before ordering to ensure we can accommodate your requirements as we hate to be party poopers!

Which couriers do you use?

FedEx and DPD are delivered next working day from point of despatch for UK mainland addresses or in two working days for Scottish Highlands, Islands, Northern Ireland, and Irish addresses.  You will receive a text message and an email confirming the day for delivery. 

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not mean your order will bypass our handling times; FedEx and DPD are from the point of despatch, not the point of purchase.
