Equipment

Lots of the carriages had a simple design, if it was one horse or many in single file there was two shafts or poles that went on either side. If it was a pair or many pairs, a team, a pole attaches between the pair. That pole, is attached to another pole, which attaches on one side of the horse. There is another design which made the second pole go in front of the horse. The driver can steer the horses using two reins or leather things which run down the middle. The reins attach to rings which run along the harness. The collar is a big leather thing shaped like a rain drop. The collar goes over the horses head and has attachments that connect from horse to horse. The rest of the harness is pretty simple. There are more leather pieces coming from the collar which attaches underneath the driver. Lots of horses need special training to be able to have a haness put on them even a simple designed one.
