APPOINTMENTS FOR HANSOM, PHAETONS, ETC. 207 



Saddle, groove in tree for free passage of tug-strap. 



Tugs, English. 



Crupper-strap, buckle on loop near the saddle. 



Crupper, without buckle. 



Kicking-strap instead of breeching. 



Monogram, badge or crest on face-piece, rosettes, winkers, 



frog of martingale, both sides of saddle, nowhere 



else. 



For a Hansom the harness should be similar to that for 

 a gig except in the following points: the bearing-rein, if 

 used, should be single, the collar straight, the saddle very 

 much heavier and with English tugs, the middle of the 

 pad-girth should be broad, from four to six inches wide, the 

 breeching heavy and the trace buckle near the whifHe-tree 

 end. 



For Mail, Demi-mail, Stanhope or Spider Phaeton the 

 harness is the same as a pair-horse brougham harness except 

 that pole-chains should be used in place of pole-piece, and 

 the harness should be somewhat lighter for use with a 

 Spider Phaeton. 



For the Landau, Vis-a-vis or Omnibus the harness 

 should be the same as that for a pair-horse brougham, but it 

 is customary to dispense with the trace-bearers. 



For the Wagonette and similar weight non-sporting type 

 of vehicle the harness should be the same as a pair-horse 

 brougham harness, but made a little lighter throughout. 



For all sporting four-wheelers such as the Game-cart, 

 Shooting-cart, Beach-wagon or Buckboard, harness with 

 horseshoe buckles may be used and any of the various types 

 of bits with the exception of the Buxton.
