Made for Jimmy, a very substancial 16+ hand Dutch Warmblood.,  It is made with the very best English leather, beautiful to see and touch.  It is supple and strong and takes a shine from polish that actually makes you feel good about presentation.  The chromed solid brass ornaments are all of the same heart motif and all tear drops and winkers feature ornaments.  The heavy chromed solid brass rosettes and chain on the brow band make a beautiful picture from far as well as near.

The harness features many amenities not available from harness makers in the US -- starting with the incredible quality of the leather, which American makers simply cannot match,  perhaps its most important characteristic is the fit, it has NEVER left a mark on my horse, never a chafe, or patch of white hair.  None of my other harness makers, can make that claim, including Zilco. 

Matching ornaments of all the appropriate sizes are virtually impossible to find in the US. And finally, Huskisson and Son has been making harness for 6 generations. 

While it is true that only a few in the US appreciate these details, the workmanship and clean lines of the harness compliment any horse and have always gotten good marks in presentation.

Huskisson is well known in England as fine harness makers, supplying presentation harness to some of Britain's best drivers, including George Bowman, and Prince Phillip.

This harness cost over $4000.00 new.  It is offered for sale here at $2500.00

The bridle

The yellow mark on the front of the winker is a reflection in the patent leather, not a defect. This beautiful bridle features the heavy chromed solid brass rosetts, chain and ornaments, --Heart ornaments on winkers and teardrop. Notice the fine stitching throughout, especially on the teardrop, and on the double buckle nose band. The square black lined winkers are favored in continental presentation style.
