as you all can probably tell i am taking the winter to get my questions answered <G> i was wondering about the connection of the collar to the yoke. john henry's hames are held together by a leather strap on the bottom not by a kidney link. his false martingale on the single harness just goes around the collar with a leather strap with a tear drop decoration. since i am going to use the same collar/hames for the pair should i upgrade to a kidney link on the bottom? when i set up the collar and hames i didn't even know about a kidney link and the hames came with straps so that is what i used..... who knew? kathleen & john henry \ / & agnes de mule \ / http://horseblanketetc.com - carriage covers & 'gator pads etc http://john.henry.org - John Henry's home page http://www.pbase.com/conklink/ - photo albums _________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe, change to Digest or Vacation mode go to: http://www.drivingpairs.com/index.php?pg=2 `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
