🧠 Frequently Asked Questions — Leather Wither Straps

Q: What does a wither strap do?
A: A wither strap keeps the breast collar in the correct position by holding it slightly upward, preventing shoulder restriction and keeping it from sliding down.

Q: Why should I choose leather over nylon?
A: Full-grain leather is more durable, molds naturally to your tack setup, and looks better with age. Nylon can stretch and cause uneven pressure over time.

Q: Are Ranch Hand wither straps handmade?
A: Yes — every strap is hand-cut, hand-stitched, and hand-finished by real craftsmen in Alberta.

Q: What hardware is used?
A: All straps feature stainless steel or solid brass hardware for strength and rust resistance.

Q: How do I maintain my leather wither strap?
A: Wipe clean after rides, apply light conditioner monthly, and store out of direct sunlight. Leather ages best when cared for regularly.

Q: Will it fit my saddle?
A: Yes — our straps are fully adjustable and compatible with most western saddles and breast collars.

Q: Can I get a matching set?
A: You bet — we offer matching breast collars, headstalls, and reins so your gear looks sharp and rides even better.

Q: Where are these made?
A: Each one is handmade in Alberta, Canada, by the same folks who live, ride, and build western tack every day.
