I am having the hardest time figuring out how to harness my horse with my new harness! The buckles on the reins won't even fit through the saddle loops!
@danutebright82925 ай бұрын
You could try putting the reins through the saddle terrets (saddle loops) by the other end, front to back. then you only have one buckle to worry about. Otherwise, you may need to change buckles. How wide are your reins ?

Wren was a star that day. she kept her feet on her marks, and only got bored towards the end. She keeps herself cleaner than her grey siblings . . . but lots of regular grooming with a curry comb, and baths with shampoo for grey horses helps.

This is great - I'm just learning driving and harnessing my new driving Haflinger. I do, however, know how a halter ought to fit a horse - just saying, because it's hard to watch.

What kind of bit are you using ? Snaffle
@warriormaiden9829 Жыл бұрын
It's a low port Liverpool bit. Liverpools are often used in driving, as for proper presentation, each horse needs to be equipped the same. But some horses need a quicker 'response' than others. The lower the reins are attached, the quicker the response will be.

Can I ask why you have quick release on the sadle for the shafts and the elbow for the traces yet you rap the straps of the Breeching around the shafts not making a easy or quick release?
@danutebright82924 жыл бұрын
If one unbuckles the backstrap buckle, (or even places a small quick release here) the entire back half of the harness (backstrap and crupper, and breeching) will not be attached to the horse anymore. Everyone has a balance of what they wish to remove quickly, based on likelihood of needing to do so.
@spartaeus4 жыл бұрын
I've noticed that some harnesses have loops on the britchen for the reins to pass through and some don't. Is it just a matter of preference? Do those extra loops help or hinder driving? And also is it possible to eliminate the crupper? My horse is always scratching his butt on the fence gate after going out for a drive. I know a lot of people don't use cruppers on mules.
@danutebright82925 ай бұрын
If you mean the extra terrets on the hip straps, those are more often used with Draft horses driven on looser rein contact. Those added terrets keep the reins from drooping down low, especially during farm work with a lot of standing and walking. They can interfere with your rein contact doing more precise work.
@danutebright82925 ай бұрын
As far as cruppers, you need to be sure the crupper and the area under your horse's tail is clean. If it is, and he doesn't scratch himself raw, check that the backstrap or crupper aren't too tight. Oddly enough, too loose can also cause rubs.

This video was great. After trying and failing to put a new harness on my petite (900 lb) mare. This clearly shows how to do it correctly. I loved the part about the blinker and bit setup. Also keeping the strap in front of the horse connected and sliding over his head is a big time and correct fit idea I will use. THANK YOU!

Is there a (safety?) reason you put the reins on first and separately and don’t just keep them attached to the bridle?
@deborahnicol6224 жыл бұрын
My personal preference is the way Dana does it in the video. I think it is easier to control as you're not trying to thread reins through the terrets while attached to the horse. It was the way I was taught though I really don't think it makes a lot of difference in the end.
@Linda-hs1lk4 жыл бұрын
@@deborahnicol622 I was taught it like that too. We had official lessons and this is how it's officially done. Also when taking the exam this is how it's done.
@Linda-hs1lk4 жыл бұрын
I've seen in many video's Americans use seperate reins and leave them on the bit. As you can see this marathon harness has the reins connected so you work the other way around. I would NEVER keep the reins attached to the bridle.
@danutebright82924 жыл бұрын
If you mean, reins run through terrets, looped on backstrap then put on bridle : if they were kept on the bridle, would would need to run them out of 2 sets of terrets (saddle and neckstrap) to remove them and the bridle.

To me, those blinkers are a little too close to the eyes; there should be another inch to one and one half inches of space between the eye and the inside of the blinker. That's as I was taught, anyway.
