  It sounds like you are describing Yankee breeching. I found it very helpful 
on hills and in the marathon hazards.  There isn't any pressure on the hind 
legs and you don't have to worry about their legs being pushed under them. One 
friend liked it so much she figured out how to incorporate the idea into her 
single harness for hazards.

  I have no real experience with pairs.... I am in the process of trying 
  to put together my two mares ( full sisters).... I bought a used set of 
  harness that was scarcely used.  It has a "hipbacker" breeching...? the 
  wide part of the breeching that normally goes around the rump goes over 
  the back just in front of the dock.  I can change replace it with the 
  traditional style.  Can someone enlighten me about this... 
  advantages... disadvantages?  What would be the purpose of using this?  
  The harness maker who made it said it is more of an Amish design but 
  couldn't offer any advice on advantages...  ( and NO I'm not going to 
  do this solo... I want to get equipment inline and then work with a 
  very knowledgeable trainer this winter...)
