The No. 1 Farm Harness has been tested on our Suffolks since 1982 and holds up well, cleans easily, is super light (26 lbs. each, with hames), and does not chafe. Its light weight, combined with substantial strength, makes this harness the perfect choice for medium-use work, training, and colt breaking.
