Be Seen, Be Safe: Why the EQUILIGHT BREASTPLATE PRO is a Must-Have for Every Rider

When it comes to riding, safety and stability are non-negotiables — and that’s exactly what the EQUILIGHT BREASTPLATE PRO delivers. It’s not just a breastplate. It’s a smartly designed, multi-functional piece of kit that’s changing the way riders approach hi vis for horse riding.

Blending classic tack with modern tech, this innovative design offers the structure of a traditional elastic breastplate, a built-in horse neck strap, and ultra-bright LED lighting — all in one sleek, high-performance package.

Why Riders Are Making the Switch

Whether you’re out hacking in low light, tackling countryside roads, or just want extra peace of mind on busy roads, the EQUILIGHT BREASTPLATE PRO ticks all the boxes:

  • Maximum Visibility – Integrated shoulder-mounted LED white lights ensure you're seen from all angles. Drivers, cyclists, dog walkers – they’ll spot you well before they’re close. It’s active equestrian hi vis at its best.

  • Quick-Grab Neck Strap – Perfect for added stability in tricky moments or giving your horse a bit of reassurance. A practical addition without the faff of extra gear.

  • Reflective Stitching – Even when the LEDs are off, high-vis detailing catches the light from headlights and torches for added passive safety.

  • Classic Fit, Modern Upgrade – Keeps your saddle in place like a proper elastic breastplate should, while the added tech takes it to the next level.

Built for British Weather (and Horses of All Sizes)

Riders know – if you can’t count on your gear in the rain, it’s not worth having. That’s why the EQUILIGHT BREASTPLATE PRO is IPX5 water-resistant, crafted from tough, weatherproof materials that stand up to the elements. And with an adjustable fit, it suits everything from chunky 13.2s to leggy 18-handers.

Thanks to up to 12 hours of continuous light, you won’t need to worry about your rechargeable battery letting you down mid-ride. Choose between steady, flashing, or pulse light modes to suit your surroundings and preference.

Perfect With Your Favourite EQUILIGHT Accessories

Pair it with our Fur Sleeves for added comfort and style, or clip on your EQUILIGHT Clip Lights to tailor your visibility even further. Whether you’re long-lining, working in-hand, or riding out, this breastplate works beautifully with the rest of your high-vis essentials.

Hi Vis for Horse Riders Who Expect More

Gone are the days of bulky, awkward high-vis. The EQUILIGHT BREASTPLATE PRO offers high-performance, stylish high-vis for horse riders who want more than just the basics. It’s confidence in motion — from early morning fitness to late evening cool-downs.

Ride Smarter. Ride Safer. Ride EQUILIGHT.
