I'm not sure you would need that much maneuvering room on a breast collar,
or if it would be desirable. The breast collar itself has more leeway of
moving on the horse, where a neck collar is more fixed. I know what I have
is almost too much room with my set up at times when I'm not driving them
well.

Looked at it again and still love your hames! Probably gives more than the
'D' rings that move back and forth. Wonder if that would work on a breat
collar?

Helen,
Actually because they are turning in this picture, the neck yoke has swung
over so it appears to be only inside on the right horse. If you look on the
other horse you can see the neck yoke is to her outside. When they are
standing the neck is is well wide enough to be center to center on each.
The wide kidney link allows more movement which is nice when navigating
obstacles. Dave McWethy of Camptown Harness ordered my hames for me.
Thnx,
Jeanine

Thanks for the picture, Jeanine. That's exactly what I mean, but yours
looks as if it only reaches to the 'off center' position. (love your hames)
I've been wondering if anyone uses a long one that would be attached to the
'middle' position on the collar. I"ve attached a pic of the one I've used.
My new carriage has one that only goes to the 'off center', but want to get
a longer one. Was wondering if anyone else uses one that long...it would
be from singletree center to singletree center, if it fits to the center 'D'
ring.

Helen,
Here is the neck yoke and attachment that I use - is that what you mean?
