With miniature horse shows and parade season approaching, now is the time to check harnesses.
A good drive starts with a well-broke horse harness in good equipment. Prolong the life of your harness with excellent care. Inspect harness thoroughly at the beginning of the driving season. Also give it a quick review every time you use it for the utmost in both safety and maintenance.
For longevity, harness should be cleaned after every use. If harness is not especially dirty, use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove loose hair, dirt or debris. If harness is damp from perspiration, allow it to dry before putting it away. Regular cleanings with specially designed harness cleaner is helpful.
Harness should periodically be taken apart, inspected and given a deep cleaning with warm water and saddle soap. Make sure harnesses are then adequately dried. After drying, well-cleaned harness can be moisturized with high quality leather oil for maximum care. Polish can also be added after a good cleaning and oiling. A neutral shoe polish can be used on patent leather harness. Don’t forget to clean and polish any brass or other metal fittings such as buckles.
