[drivingpairs] Re: Yankee Breeching Picture-Draft

OK, Kathy, I think I get the "picture" of what you are using. How wide is 
the breeching strap? Is it the same width for the whole length? Where does 
it "end" under the horse, where the short straps start? Or, how far away 
from the girth does the "wide" britching strap end?

We had a friend, down the road a couple of miles, that used this. He's been 
gone for several years now, and I just don't remember exactly how it all fit 
together. Thanks for sharing the details of your setup.

Don Hayes     Keep driving!

  Our Yankee Breeching is just a single long piece of
leather, with short straps on ends to buckle under
girth.  We didn't want a lot of pieces, rings, buckles
flapping around horse barrel to snag on stuff.  We are
moving faster, needing a clean, tighter harness fit on
CDE horses for hazard clearances, than slower moving,
farming Drafts require.  Also cheaper for harness
maker to create breeching strap in pieces, uses up
leftovers, short parts.
