Wed, Feb 15th at 7:00 PM - Presenter: Greg Hunt Greg Hunt of Hunt’s Harness will discuss in detail about how to fit each part of a harness to your equine. Hear it all first-hand from this master harness maker. Greg’s perspective is that “there are six broad areas of concern: bridle, back pad and backstrap(turnback), breeching, breast collar and neck strap, full collar, and breast plate (false martingale). Each of these has particular issues of construction and fit. Placement of the various particular parts lengthen and shorten both attached and adjacent parts. Although made up of various parts, it is necessary for them to act in proper coordination for the safety, comfort, and beauty of presentation. Phone Dial in: +1 646 876 9923
