About this objectThis horse breeching is made from leather, with iron fittings. A breeching, sometimes known as a horse britchin, is a strap of leather that lays behind the animal's thighs and attaches to the saddle with two straps to the back of the saddle as well as two straps to the rigging. The breeching will keep the saddle in place on a downhill stretch without hindering the animal's gait.
