The Complete Yankee Harness with Backers is built for high endurance and efficient performance, perfect for Draft horses powering through long drives. Known for its simpler design, the Yankee (or Hip Britching) system is ideal for lightweight wagons and carts where control and comfort take priority over braking power. This harness shines when covering long distances or driving at a faster pace for extended periods, ensuring your horse stays comfortable and supported.

The Backers offer extra stability, helping to secure and position the harness perfectly on your Draft horse’s body for a custom fit.

Key Features:

Durable & Lightweight – Crafted from American BioThane, stronger than leather, half the weight, and resistant to water and wear.

Rust-Resistant Stainless Steel Hardware – Buckles, spots, and snaps built to withstand the elements.

Amish Craftsmanship – Carefully sewn to ensure a secure fit, long-lasting durability, and optimal function.

Perfect for Draft horses that need a harness built for endurance, comfort, and reliability.
