    Look for a book called “The Conestoga Wagon” by George Shumway. It’ll have all you’re looking for. You should be able to get it through your local library on inter library loan.

    Attached are a pair of photos. The first is a conestoga wagon and team off the internet. I also use a harness nearly identical to the old conestoga harness due to my moonlighting as a living historian. The second photo is a photo of our Percherons in that harness.

    If I understand correctly what you’re looking for, I don’t think I have any good photos of that. But it is all illustrated in the book.
