Chantilly Hunting Breastplate

OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union

The Chantilly breastplate secures the saddle across drops and hills while leaving the shoulder entirely free — five points of anatomy-led engineering in rolled English leather.

Only the tightest, cleanest sections of each hide meet our standard; the rest is set aside. What remains is leather with a dense, silky hand that holds its shape in work yet softens beautifully to the touch — the signature of slow European tanning and patient handwork.

Design & Craftsmanship

• Hand-rolled cheekpieces and throatlash in English bridle leather
• Elasticated inserts at every attachment, sheathed in rolled calf
• Anatomically curved headpiece relieving poll pressure with a soft padded contour
• Old-gold or matte stainless fittings, individually cast and polished
• Sheepskin-lined wither and chest pads, removable for cleaning

Care

Clean with a glycerine saddle soap as needed and condition sparingly — quality leather prefers little and often. Avoid oils in excess, which soften structure.

Questions, Answered

Does it match other OLVENIQ pieces?
Yes — leathers, dyes and hardware are standardised across the collection, so bridle, breastplate and saddle age together as one set.

Is the leather ready to use?
Yes — every piece is conditioned, waxed and inspected before dispatch. A light wipe with balsam after the first wet ride is all we suggest.
