Horse Harness Collection – Quality, Comfort & Wholesale Supply

Our horse harness collection brings together durable, reliable driving harnesses and complete harness sets designed for control, comfort, and long-lasting performance. Whether you need a full horse driving harness set or replacement pieces, Criterion supplies harnesses trusted by equestrians, carriage drivers, and tack retailers worldwide.

Complete Harnesses & Individual Parts

We stock complete horse harness sets and individual harness parts including reins, bridles, breastcollars, traces, breeching, cruppers, saddle/pads for harness work, and harness buckles and fittings. You’ll find options for carriage harness, cart harness, racing/sulky-style harnesses, and heavy-duty draft harnesses. Our parts and spare fittings make it simple to repair or customize an existing harness.

Materials & Construction

Our driving harnesses are available in premium leather and durable webbing/biothane styles. Leather harnesses are chosen for classic appearance, longevity, and ability to be serviced with saddle soap and conditioner. Webbing/biothane harnesses offer low-maintenance alternatives that resist water and sweat while remaining strong for everyday use. All harnesses feature reinforced stitching, padded sections at pressure points, and heavy-duty buckles to ensure safety and comfort.

Sizes & Fit

We offer harnesses in every common size—Mini, Shetland, Pony, Cob, Full, X-Full, and Draft—plus adjustable options and mix-size ordering for retailers. Correct sizing and fit are crucial: a properly fitted horse harness distributes pressure evenly across the chest and shoulders and prevents rubbing or sores. Consult our size guide and fitting notes for chest, girth, and breeching placement to ensure the right selection for your horse.

Wholesale & Direct Supply for Trade Buyers

As a direct wholesale horse harness supplier and manufacturer, Criterion supports tack shops, riding schools, trainers, and equestrian businesses with:

  • Flexible minimum order quantities (MOQs typically starting from 10–20 sets depending on style)
  • Mix-and-match sizing for bulk orders

Whether you’re searching for draft horse harness sets in bulk or individual pony harnesses for resale, our trade team provides tailored quotes and fast responses to wholesale enquiries.

Care & Maintenance

Leather harnesses should be wiped clean after use, cleaned with saddle soap periodically, and conditioned to prevent drying and cracking. Webbing and biothane harnesses can be rinsed and air-dried; check stitching and hardware regularly. Routine inspection of traces, buckles, and reins reduces the risk of failure during use.

  • Manufacturer expertise with consistent quality control.
  • Wide selection: driving harnesses, work/collar harnesses, show harnesses, and parts.
  • Trade-friendly wholesale terms and customization.

FAQs – Horse Harness

What types of harnesses do you offer?

We offer driving harnesses, work/collar harnesses, racing/sulky harnesses, show harnesses, and draft harness sets. We also supply individual pieces such as bridles, reins, breastcollars, traces, breeching, cruppers, and harness fittings.

Are the harnesses padded for comfort?

Yes — our harnesses include padded sections at pressure points (breastplate, back saddle/pad, and breeching) where applicable. Padding helps prevent rubbing and improves comfort for prolonged use.

What comes in a complete harness set?

A typical complete driving harness set includes bridle (with reins and bit attachments), breastcollar or collar, saddle/pad (to carry the harness on the horse’s back), traces (to connect to the vehicle), breeching, and all necessary buckles and straps. Sets can vary by style (e.g., racing vs carriage) and by horse size.

Can I purchase in bulk for resale?

Yes — we supply wholesalers and retailers. Our wholesale program offers mix-size ordering, volume discounts, and customization for trade partners. Contact our trade team with your requirements for a bespoke quote.

Do you supply harnesses for all horse sizes?

Yes — we stock harnesses for Mini, Shetland, Pony, Cob, Full, X-Full, and Draft horses. Our size guide and measurement notes help you choose the correct size for a secure, comfortable fit.

Which is better — leather or webbing harness?

Leather is traditional, highly durable, and looks premium; it requires regular care (cleaning and conditioning). Webbing or biothane harnesses are low-maintenance, water-resistant, and cost-effective for everyday use. Choose leather for longevity and presentation, webbing/biothane for easy maintenance and wet-weather conditions.

Are the harnesses suitable for everyday use?

Yes — our harnesses are designed for everyday use, training, and regular driving. Select the appropriate style and material (heavy-duty collar harnesses for farm work, breastcollar driving harnesses for lighter carts) to match intended use and workload.

How do I measure my horse for a harness?

Measure chest girth (behind the front legs), breast width, and underside length where the breastcollar sits. For collar harnesses, measure the circumference where the collar will sit. Refer to our size guide or contact our team with measurements for assistance.

Can I get custom branding or bespoke harness sets?

Yes — we offer customisation options for wholesale orders, including bespoke fittings, branded tags, and specific leather finishes. Minimums and lead times depend on the order size and specifications.

How long does wholesale lead time take?

Lead time varies by style and volume. Small to medium bespoke orders typically take several weeks; standard stock orders are quicker. Contact trade support for exact timelines based on your order.
