New Harness!

[MajorClementine]

I should never join "for sale" facebook groups. I found a lightly used Marafun harness that will fit 4 of my 5 driving minis! It's hurricane blue and lime green. The super nice woman I bought it from shipped it out today. I was always going to buy a marafun but other things (vet bills, house projects, you know the things) kept coming up and then they quit doing any custom harness work and the marafun went bye bye. Imagine my surprise when there was one for sale in the color configuration I was wanting. Also, she found her hip bells that match the harness and threw them in the box for me this morning as well. I've only got two harnesses for all my horses to share so it's a pain when I have to switch them back and forth from pairs to single. So now I can leave the other set as pairs harnesses and use this one for single. I think I can even make it fit Candace with a few holes and a different bridle. Pics when it arrives!

Also do we have anyone in the Fort Worth, TX area that would be willing to look at a cart that is for sale in Boyd, TX for me? It's online and I'm always paranoid about getting scammed.

OH so happy for you in finding a harness you always wanted! Please share pics. It sounds wonderful.

That is a fabulous purchase! What are the odds of finding your favorite color combo?

You will really enjoy the convenience not to mention the symphony with hoof beats and bells.

I really like my marafun! That's what Phillippe has, we just upgraded to the Superflex collar. I sure hope Countryside gets their harness manufacturing staff sorted out so they can do custom again.

That’s always an exciting moment. There’s something satisfying about getting new gear, especially when it’s for your horse. It feels like a fresh start. Have you had a chance to try it out yet? I’m curious to know how it fits and how your horse responds.

A good fit can make a big difference in their comfort and performance.
If you’re into upgrading your setup further, have you looked into Headstalls for horses? Sometimes, pairing a good harness with the right headstall makes the setup feel right.

I recently heard the news of Sebastian, from Les Harnaise du Quebec, passed away. He had built Falcor's harness, and harness for many other people. He was very talented. And young! Only 43. Same age as me! He and his partner bred Dutch harness horses as well. I'm not sure what Sophie will do now. Very sad.

And Muffy Seaton passed away recently as well!

What a way to start 2025.
