I got one for Christmas as a replacement for my old work harness and I LOVE IT!!! It is sooo pretty, it could def. be used as a show harness, no doubt. I am actually keeping the bridle of my old working harness (it was a replacement one anyway and is less than a year old) and saving the carriage harness bridle for AMHR shows. That way I have two show bridles, one for ADS and one for breed. I am very happy with mine.

P.S. it does have the "V" breast collar and it is very well sized for the little ones.
