an additional charge.
There
are a lot of great things to say about this good looking harness. The
design and construction have been well thought out with input from some of
Europe’s top drivers. The leather is supple and easy to handle from the
first day you use it. This harness easily polishes up to a beautiful
luster for presentation, and is tough enough for any marathon.
The bridle features a three piece padded noseband, a chain front browband and shaped blinders. The crown piece and throat lash have been specially shaped to accommodate your horse’s natural anatomy.
On both the Wheeler and Leader harnesses the center channel of the saddle is held generously wide and high with shape retaining pads and a stainless tree to spread the load evenly away from the spine. Most harness makers will charge 30%-60% more to include such a saddle with their comparably priced harnesses. (If you do the research, you’ll find this to be true!) A two piece hip strap carries the breeching evenly for an effective line of draft. Our Wheeler harness comes with complete breeching.
Durability has been built into this harness. The traces, breeching, and breast collar have nylon webbing stitched between the leather. All of the buckles have stainless steel tongues that buckle into oval punched holes. The harness billets fit nicely into stitched keepers, rather than stapled box keepers found on other harnesses. You’ll love how easily the buckles can be adjusted from the first day you use this harness. Most impressively the stitches are counter sunk into the leather to prevent rubbing on your horse, or wear on the stitches.
The Ideal Luxury Marathon harness is available in black or russet in 5 sizes to fit minis to heavy horses. You have a choice of leather or rubberized anti-slip reins.
Russet with Brass furniture is available by special order.
