Dear Newcomer,
I have used the breast strap/tug system on my pair for about 3 years
now. The main reason that I don't use the hanes/collar is because of
cost and fit for each horse. When I was setting up my team it was too
expensive to put them in collars and they work just fine as they are.
We have driven several CDE and ADT events and done very well with this
setup. Take a look if you have time at:
http://myweb.cableone.net/lrsmith under CDE and you will see our team.
Best to you and yours, Bob & Linda Smith, Prescott, AZ
