The Empathy MK4 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 MK4 Empathy works with the
horse's conformation by
allowing greater freedom of
movement through the shoulder,
enabling the horse to pull a
load with minimal restriction
to limb movement or pressure
on the shoulder joint.
The trace buckle
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.
