Harness![]() Mostly made of leather straps, a harness is used to connect draft animals like horses to loads to be pulled.

The analogy of a draft horse working until it drops dates from Shakespeare’s time (or earlier). “At least we’ll die with harness on our back,” says Macbeth before his fateful battle with Macduff (Macbeth, 5.5). Such a death, incidentally, is considered desirable and admirable. “It is a man dying with his harness on that angels love to escort upward,” said the American preacher Henry Ward Beecher (Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit, 1887). Precisely the same is meant by to die with one’s boots on, although more likely this expression comes from the battlefield (soldiers dying on active duty).See also: dieharness
harness, comprehensive term for the gear of a draft animal, excluding the yoke, by which it is attached to the load that it pulls. Although harnesses are used on dogs (for drawing travois and dogsleds), on goats, and sometimes on oxen, the typical harness is for horses. There are two main kinds—the collar harness and the breast harness. In the collar harness a padded leather collar fits over the horse's shoulders; to it are fastened the hames, linked metal parts with two curved projections to which are attached the traces, leather straps that pass down the sides of the horse and by which the load is drawn. In the breast harness the traces are attached to a breastband that crosses the shoulders below the neck. The horse is controlled by reins or lines attached to the bit, a metal mouthpiece held in place by the bridle, i.e., the various straps and buckles that make up the headgear of the horse, including the blinders. A long, narrow saddle pad is held in place on the horse's back by a bellyband (or girth), a backband, and a crupper, a loop under the tail. The reins pass through rings on the hames and on the saddle pad; looped straps on the pad hold the shafts of a vehicle. The breeching, a strap that passes around the hindquarters below the tail and is held in place by hip straps, bears the stress when the horse is backed up or is going downhill. There are many individual parts of the various harnesses, each of them having a specific name; the different kinds of bits alone are innumerable. Harness making is an ancient craft, dating from the domestication of the horse; the saddlesaddle,
seat or pad to support the rider on an animal, chiefly a horse. The saddles mentioned in the Bible are generally considered to have been saddlecloths. The ancient Greeks sometimes used saddlecloths, but they had no saddles and often rode bareback.

Horse harnesses, depending on the intended use, can be subdivided into single and double and full-collar and breastplate harnesses. A single full-collar harness includes a collar with tugs and hames strap, saddle, girth, breeching strap, lugs, breeching, bridle with bit, checkrein, and reins. A single breastplate harness includes the collar with hames, to which the traces are attached; in place of tugs there are thongs, which fasten the collar to the shafts. A double harness for pulling vehicles consists of collars, breast straps, traces, breechings, bridles with bits, and double reins. In some harnesses the collar is replaced by a breast harness. The Russian word upriazh’ has a wider meaning than the English term “harness.” For example, it includes saddles, the main piece of gear of saddle horses. In reference to oxen, it includes the double wooden yoke, which is fitted on the animal’s neck and attached to a whiffletree. A camel harness has a bridle, reins, and breast strap. Reindeer and sled-dog harnesses consist of a breast strap with one trace. Reindeer are directed with a pole or a single rein; dog harnesses have no reins. An improperly made or poorly fitted harness will rub and injure an animal’s skin, thus reducing the animal’s capacity for work. S. V.
