Logging/Plow Harness
Our Logging/Plow Harness is available as an optional design for our No. 1 Farm Harness and our No. 2 Combination Harness. It is similar in design and construction to these styles, but comes without the brichen and holdback assembly and with a crupper and long lazy straps. This harness is designed for folks who need a lightweight harness for skidding, dragging, or plowing. If you do not use your horses on free-moving equipment, or you prefer a versatile harness with a removable brichen, consider this harness. The Logging/Plow Harness comes with No. 500 hames, bridle, and your choice of hardware, bits (straight or snaffle), and Biothane lines.

New England "D"-Ring Harness
Our New England "D"-Ring style harness is an option
for our No. 1 Farm Harness and No. 2 Combination Harness. Overall this popular
design is a quite clever. The quarter strap, pole strap, and breast strap are
replaced by two back and front sidebacker straps with jack strap snaps and neck
straps. The New England "D"-Ring Harness is especially well suited for loose or
heavy-tongued implements. The sidebacker straps are pulled tight, creating
tension between the neck yoke and evener. The unique feature of this harness is
that the brichen remains free from pressure, while allowing some of the tongue
weight to be transferred to the back pad, even while the horses are held tightly
in place by the traces and front sidebacker straps.You will need a jockey type
neck yoke to use this harness.
