As usual, Hardy has come up with a simple brilliant idea VBG. Although,=
=
I am sure he would be happy to ding me in presentation for the tape VBG.=
=
Anyway, I am going to try and get some pictures. Several seem facinated=
by whatever the arrangement I have is. It is somewhat comforting to know=
it is apparently unusual, and I wasn't just to dumb to figure it out. LO=

In the mean time, the vast majority of you seem to think it is imperative=
that I have false martingales. So yesterday, I boxed up some pieces, =
including the 6 in hand reins that came with it (LOL) and sent them off=
to Daniel at Country Harness. I ordered false martingales to go from the=
D
on the front of the breastcollar that the pole strap connects to, and am
having a D put on the loop around the girth. Then I ordered straps that
will go from the breeching D to the girth, and longer straps that will go=
from the breeching D and loop through the trace buckle like the original
ones, only much longer. I figure the straps can't be very expensive, and=
one arrangement or the other should work good enough to get me going down=
the road. =
The only thing that makes any sense to me with the straps I have is that
they were to loop through the trace buckle and buckle back on themselves.=
=
There are only holes at the end of the strap, none much further back lik=
e
an adjustment place for the buckle, and the holes in the strap are pretty=
small, for the buckle on the strap and not nearly big enough for the trac=
e
buckle. =
I did have one person suggest trying to stretch the traces keepers, ther=
e
are 6 of them. =
I have had several ask what kind of harness it is. I haven't seen any ma=
rk
on it. Is there a typical location I could check? I am fairly certain =
it
is European made, but it has a sorted history...............VBG. I bough=
t
it from a woman who bought it at Martins at the Friday night appointments=
auction for almost twice what I paid for it. She ended up buying smaller=
horses and had never used it. =
I suppose if there is someone out there interested in 6 in hand reins, I=
could call Daniel and tell him not to cut them down. =
It also came with rollar bolt traces. Very nice with stainless hardware.=
=
I can't imagine I will ever have a vehicle with rollar bolts, if someone=
out there could use them. =
