A horizontally- and vertically-adjustable chestbar assembly for a horsefloat or other horse transportation vehicle has a first mounting assembly with a substantially vertical support bar mounted for slidable movement along substantially horizontal first mounting bars. A chestbar, with padding along at least one side, is hingedly connected to hinge means mounted for selected vertical adjustment on the vertical support bar. A striker means has a substantially vertical body mounted for selective slidable movement along horizontal second mounting bars of a second mounting assembly. The other end of the chestbar has a side locking pin selectively engageable in a set of vertically spaced holes in the body of the striker means and a sliding pin urged by a spring to engage an end face of a flange on an opposed face of the body of the striker means. The chestbar can be swung from a substantially horizontal operative position to a substantially vertical inoperative position and can be moved both in horizontal and vertical directions, relative to the horsefloat, to accommodate horses of a range of lengths and heights.
