Built for the Long Haul: The Weaver Hermann Oak Pulling Breast Collar

When you're dragging a calf to the fire or navigating a steep mountain switchback, you need gear that works as hard as you do. The Weaver Hermann Oak (HL) Pulling Breast Collar is engineered for those high-torque moments where saddle stability and horse comfort are non-negotiable. Crafted from premium Hermann Oak harness leather, this collar is built to withstand the rigors of the ranch while maintaining a professional, working-western look.

Weaver Leather has thoughtfully designed this piece with a soft brown latigo leather lining to prevent soreness during long days in the brush. By attaching around the swells of your saddle rather than the D-rings, it provides the superior leverage needed to keep your gear centered and secure, ensuring your horse can use their full strength without interference.

Why Ranchers & Trail Riders Trust the Weaver HL

• Unmatched Durability with world-renowned Hermann Oak harness leather that is tanned to stand up to sweat, dirt, and years of heavy use.
• Enhanced Horse Comfort provided by the supple latigo leather lining, which minimizes friction and prevents chafing under pressure.
• Optimized Shoulder Mobility thanks to a tapered design (2-5/8" to 1-1/2") that sits above the point of the shoulder for an uninhibited range of motion.
• Superior Saddle Stability achieved by the pulling-style attachment around the pommel, preventing the saddle from sliding back during steep climbs or heavy drags.
• Corrosion-Resistant Hardware featuring heavy-duty stainless steel that won't rust or fail when the pressure is on.

Best For

Working cowboys, ropers, and mountain trail riders looking for maximum saddle security and shoulder clearance during high-torque ranch work or steep climbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size horse does the Weaver HL Pulling Breast Collar fit?

This collar is designed in a standard "Average Horse" size, which typically fits horses in the 800–1,100 lb range. The adjustable straps allow you to fine-tune the fit for your specific horse.

Q: Why does this collar attach to the swells instead of the D-rings?

Attaching to the swells (the pommel) allows the Weaver HL Pulling Breast Collar to sit higher on the chest. This provides better leverage for pulling heavy loads and ensures the straps don't pull down across the horse's shoulders or windpipe.
