Pleasure/ Show Harnesses and Conversion Kits
We are please to announce that we have retained our expert harness maker from a well known Pennsylvania establishment to make all of our leather/betathane and biothane harnesses! He has many years experience. We are able to offer a high quality product at a very reasonable price. Take a look at the pictures below!
Harnesses are CUSTOM FIT to your miniature horse, pony, horse or donkey. Additional parts can easily be ordered to adapt to multiple close-sized animals. Our standard harness can be used from training to pleasure driving and right into the show ring. We offer a high grade leather, betathane or biothane material. Our leather harnesses are made with American leather and are all handstitched. The saddles (back pads) are soft and well padded. They are all brass or stainless fittings. Pair Harness is available as well as a “Conversion Kit” to convert two single harnesses to a pair harness. Pads are recommended under the saddle and breastplate for comfort.
