I do agree with you on the carriage harness, it is nicer than the pleasure harness. Why is it called a carriage harness? What do you think of the V breast collar option? Thank you for your help. DebbyI would have to vote neither--I would go with the Ozark carriage harness. The carriage harness is much nicer than the pleasure harness, definitely nice enough to show in, and very functional for every day driving around home too.
The show harness (assuming you mean #MW200) has round lines and traces--round meaning the leather has been pared down to a round shape to look like rolled leather. This is much less sturdy than rolled leather or flat leather; while it might serve the purpose in the show ring, it's not what I would want to use around home. I want good strong lines and traces, thank you! It also does not have breeching, which is something I want to have for every day driving.
If you mean the more expensive rolled leather show harness--that would be my pick for showing but again--I would hate to use it for every day driving. Again, no breeching, and it's just finer than what I want to use for driving around home.
I do have 2 carriage harnesses and 1 pleasure harness, no show harnesses--I'm perfectly satisfied with my carriage harnesses for showing.
