For Saddle. — Give girth. 



For Collar. — Measure round the collar- 

 bed, then deduct from this 9 inches, and 

 divide by 2. 



Supposing that a horse measures 45 

 inches, less 9 = 36, which divided by 2 = 18 

 and this is the depth of the collar at its 

 inner side. 



For Breeching. — Length around the 

 quarters. 



For Bridle. — Measure from the centre 

 of the head to top of bit. 



For Traces. — State whether brougham, 

 dog-cart, etc., and give the length from 

 point to trace fastening on machine. 



For Reins. — Say whether for a pony, 

 cob, hackney, tandem pair, or four-in-hand. 



Lastly, it is an advantage to mention 

 the height, etc., when ordering harness 

 away from home. Buckles are not to be 

 included when measurinof from an old set.
