Instructions
Place the collar or breast plate around the neck and over the shoulders.
Fasten the hames to the collar. The hames are made of wood or leather.
Attach the traces, the leather straps that go on either side of the horse, to the hames. If you're using the breast plate instead of the collar, the traces are attached directly to the breastband.
Attach the saddle to the back with straps that go around the belly and under the tail. The saddle is not the same as a regular riding saddle, but is basically a thin support that runs the length of the back. The strap under the tail is called a crupper.
Run the reins from the head through rings that come off the saddle and hames. This is used to guide the horse from the vehicle.
Attach the poles from the vehicle to the loops that come out of the straps at the back of the saddle.
