How much for a driving harness?

[siennamiller]

A friend has bought a driving cob and has no idea where to get a harness and how much it will be, I have absolutely no idea. Can anyone help pleeease.

Depends on what she wants. Robinsons used to have various price ranges in their catalogue. Various sellers on ebay have sets.

Robinsons do one I think. Libbys do a synthetic one. It depends on the sort of quality you are looking for really. My YO is getting a new one but she is going to a local market to buy hers.

I have a rene schoop set- like the zilco but cheaper... I paid £550 for mine but the zilco equivalent is £850. Depends what she is doing- for pleasure driving, something like libby's or pals equestrian is fine- the imported leather sets are ok as long as you look after them, I wouldn't pay more than a couple of hundred. Or less than £100 secondhand!! You get what you pay for and for me safety is paramount especially when you're sat behind it rather than on top! I chose my set as I'm doing HDT at pre novice level and need a set that will stand up to marathon and be smart enough for dressage- here's mine...

ebay. I got a lovely black leather harness for £80. Sold it a year later on ebay for £120.

Don't know what your friend wants but there's a synthetic cob harness on NFED at mo for £70. Winchester area I think.

I have my Indian Leather one that cost me £85 on ebay and then my OHs Harness cost him £1200 (english leather) and then a ploughing harness costing something in between.

If she wants synthetic I highly recomment Zilco or Top Mark. And if you want my opinion Libbys ones are rubbish, and I wouldnt even touch the Robinsons one.

Howeever I see no problem with a fair quality indian one.
