I never take mine off. I just don't leave it loose because it can get hung up on things. I used to leave it really loose but I watched my friend get in an accident by getting it caught on a tree branch, so now I make it tighter, but not like, strangling. xD

I do on my barrel saddle, but not on my Abetta saddle or show saddle.

Always. 100%. I used it when I barrel raced in case my gelding blew up or refused a barrel. I use it on trail especially when I was working at a packing outfitter doing 12 hour days. I use it during drill team. Its become a habit for me. All my saddles come with billets but I also go and buy or have a flank cinch made.

I was always taught to have it decently touching when you first get on a horse and by the time you get warmed up and riding it usually is hanging 1/2 inch to an inch. Anyone else have an opinion?

I don't use one, don't really feel the need to I suppose. I might consider it for gaming but it's doubtful.

I would be lost without my breastcollar though!

No, I used too but it became pointless.

I agree.
