Humane Harness In rhis ace of advancement forward steps are taken in Harness making as well as other branches of manufacturing. The greatest improvement in harness is the new attachment which makes harness humane. This new improvement is a sliding device which is attached to the names and breeching and gives the harness an opportunity to move with the action of the horse's body. It works on the same principle as the latest suspender. The advantages of the Hu mane Harness are many and among them are The comfort and ease they give to Horses wearing them ; Will outlast the old style harness; does away with the back band; prevents the rub bing of the skin and thus prevents sores and blisters. The Humane Harness is simple and made according to the most correct principles, one interested in harness should fail to thoroughly investigate the new idea.
