Tips To Put A Harness Or Collar On A Pony/Horse

Posted by admin | Horse | Wednesday 31 March 2010 12:25 pm

For this post we are glad to share with you all the tips on how to put a harness or a collar on your horse or pony. Follow all the steps below thoroughly and ask other people to assist you.

Firstly, make sure you have this : Halter Harness

Step 1: Put the saddle on the pony’s back at the base of the mane, and buckle the girth beneath the animal. It should be loose enough to not cause pain but tight enough not to slip.

Step 2: Place the crouper, or the split leather loop, around the pony’s tail, taking care not to catch any hair in it. If the crouper has buckles, secure them.

Step 3: With the widest side facing upward, place the collar over the pony’s head. Make sure the collar isn’t placed too low or it will make it harder to control the pony.

Step 4: Straighten the reins and fold them over where the two pieces of leather meet. Pull them under the back strap to hold them securely until you need them.

Step 5: Put the bridle on by starting with the bit gently placed in the pony’s mouth. Slowly bring the bridle over the pony’s head and buckle it into place.

Step 6: Fasten the breeching along the back and hind legs. Gently pull the tail through. Adjust it so it’s not riding too low on the haunches or it could injure the pony’s hind legs.

Step 7: Check to make sure all parts of the harness are fitting correctly.
