*Update* I put the harness back on Major today and decided the breeching fits him fine. I was wondering if it was too small and someone else on here had commented on the same thing. I made sure everything was on correctly and snug and decided that the back strap is indeed my problem. Actually just from the hip strap to the crupper is too long and I don't have enough leather to punch enough holes to adjust it to fit. I emailed Ozark and they got right back to me happy to help. I emailed them the measurements I needed and they will see if they have something that works or if they will need to special order it. I love ordering from a company with this kind of customer service! I also put the harness on Clementine and it fits her as well so I can use it for both of them with very little adjustment even though she is 4" taller. Other than height their measurements are almost the exact same. Go figure...

I got my new Ozark pleasure harness today but I am concerned about the fit. The saddle seems to fit pretty well (do I have it in the right spot?) but the breeching seems WAY to big. Well not the breeching per-say but the back strap is way to long. I can put extra holes in it but to shorten it enough to get the crupper where it needs to be pulls the hip straps at a pretty sever angle. There isn't much room in the crupper for adjustment. I did send my measurements to Ozark when I ordered my harness.
I don't want to start punching holes in it until I'm sure it will work. Please take a look at these pictures and tell me what you see. Also my first time tacking him up and I'm using a diagram in "Carriage Driving". So go ahead and let me know what I've done wrong as well. Thanks.
