Meridian Five-Point Breastplate

OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union

Designed on pressure-mapping studies and finished like jewellery, the Meridian is the breastplate for horses whose saddles must not move and whose shoulders must.

We work exclusively with full-grain European calfskin and English bridle butts, tanned slowly with oak and mimosa bark. Each hide is rested, stuffed with tallow and waxes, then burnished by hand — a rhythm of work unchanged for a century, and the reason OLVENIQ leather ages into character rather than wear.

Design & Craftsmanship

• Contoured, tapering noseband padded with memory foam over softest calf lining
• Supplied with matching hand-rolled reins in the same hide batch
• Anatomically curved headpiece relieving poll pressure with a soft padded contour
• Quick-release stainless snaps rated far beyond field-use loads
• 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

How should I store it?
On a shaped hook or rack in a ventilated tack room, away from direct heat. The supplied cotton bag protects the finish in transport.
