How do I ask for a lead when cantering when driving?

Fixed the problem. The back strap is too long, the point the hip straps crisscross needed moved forward to the highest point of his hip and the hip straps lengthened. Thanks everyone.

In this video you can see the right hip strap moving and bouncing up. Usually both sides do it terrible, of course it behaves when I'm filming. I does it less if I lengthen the holdback straps as if there is more weight and length to hold it down. If I shorten them the hipstraps go everywhere...

How tight do you make the girth for driving? I have heard it is looser than riding. How loose? My horses are fat. I'm working on it. The saddle keeps moving forward because that is the smallest circumference around them. Any tips on keeping it back. Do I need to shorten the back strap and...

Thank you all for the help. I will move the saddle back and take some better pics from a consistent angle this weekend. I agree, I am going to ask about the A size harness. The bridle and girth are too big. I am curious how a smaller breeching would fit also.

Trying to figure out if my new breaching fits. It lays flat when my horse isn't moving but when he trots it bounces up and down and gaps off his back and bounces against his rear. When I canter it is all over the place. All the vids I see of other people's breaching, their breaching remains...

My reins keep getting hooked on the buckles of my hip straps. The buckles are really high up on my horse's hip. I have heard of hip terrets that hold the reins up. Does anyone know where to get some?

Does the line of draft look wrong? It slops down from the tree.

I got a new comfyfit harness and am trying to determine fit. The girth is too big and needs swapped out. The bridle fits, but I have to use the smallest hole. My horses are B size, would an A size fit better. The nose and browband fit great. The cheek pieces and throatlash are on the...

How do you determine where to wrap the holdback straps on the shafts? They keep pulling my breaching either forward or back so it doesn't lay flat.

I am looking into adding snaps or shackles to my harness to make harnessing and unharnessing easier. Areas of possible snaps, reins connecting to bridle, breaching to shafts, crupper to saddle. What areas have you used snaps or shackles? What kind did you use? Pics would be great.

Certainly the horse should be conditioned. Just curious what an average distance must people drive their mini.

How far have you driven your mini in a single drive? At a slow trot, how long is reasonable to ask your mini to keep that gait?

Yes, I am ordering a comfyfit.
