Quote:There are certainly variations on a theme as you infer but to be honest I made the point more because a) you can't actually see the strap and b) I don't like seeing re-enactors without the fifth "balance" strap as it is a safety issue!
You could also argue the case that the strap is not shown on later tombstones as it may relate to the terrain the cavalry were operating on...or just becasue the stone mason forgot :wink:
Would you have a selection of photos and diagrams that show exactly what you mean?
I would really appreciate as much info on that as possible.
The straps i have on my extra harness fittings are too short for all the horses i have tried so far, so I need to make something new!
