Meridian Five-Point Breastplate
Tax included where applicable. Insured delivery arranged by your concierge.
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. We offer a full refurbishment service: stitching, flocking and finish can be renewed at our atelier at any point in the piece's life.
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.
Can hardware be customised?
Brass, matte stainless and our signature old-gold finishes are available on most pieces, along with monogrammed keepers, through the bespoke programme.
