What is Whiter Strap?
A wither strap is a piece of horse tack used in horseback riding. It is placed over the horse’s withers, which is the highest point of the shoulder blades. The main purpose of a wither strap is to stabilize the saddle and help prevent it from sliding back on the horse’s back. By securing the front of the breast collar, the wither strap ensures the breast collar stays in position, particularly during fast-paced activities like barrel racing or roping. In this blog, we will explore the definition of a wither strap, the various materials used in making one, its importance and benefits, how to choose the right wither strap for your needs, the correct way to attach it, and helpful tips for using and maintaining it to ensure both the horse's comfort and the rider's safety.
