We offer a small assortment of harness-related sundries, primarily for light/driving harness use.
Please note that as of February 27, 2020, we no longer are able to produce and offer harness hames.
Add ornamental brasses to harnesses. We've re-scaled our harness brasses to be more accurate to Trad (1:9) and Classic (1:12) model horse scales.
All Brasses shown approx. 150% larger than actual size

We still carry our original harness brasses... which happened to be a bit off-scale in size. The "Oversize Traditional" brasses are a bit larger than the proper Trad scale brasses above. The "Oversize Classic" brasses are between the proper Trad and Clas scales size-wise.

Harness Terrets are used on the "saddle" or surcingle/"belly band" portion of the harness. The reins are threaded through them to keep them in the proper position for driving.

Harness Terrets are used on the "saddle" or surcingle/"belly band" portion of the harness. The reins are threaded through them to keep them in the proper position for driving.
These etched terrets are fastened by poking two matching holes for the "legs" in your leather. Thread the "legs" through the baseplate, and then push the "legs" through the holes in the leather. Bend the legs under to secure the terret in place, and glue a layer of skiver under the surcingle to "sandwich" the legs between the layers and protect the model.
Available for rein straps in 3/32" (2.5mm) and 1/8" (3mm) widths.
