I just got a bio harness made for my girl and I don’t know how I should store it in my tack shed. Can anyone share how you store your harness?
Also, Happy New Year.

I keep the lines right with the harness, and each harness is hung from a rail spike on the barn wall. Collars and bridles hang separately. Another popular way to store harness is to have three spikes in a horizontal line on the wall, wood or steel, with the hames on one, the jacksaddle on the next, and the britchen up on the third. This way is easier for a beginner teamster as the harness is hung up the same way it sits on the horse. In terms of cleaning the harness, I do nothing except wiping down the collars when they are sweaty or wet. Bio is great because is addition to being light and flexible at all temps, it requires almost no cleaning. Additionally, it is very easy to add holes to adjust fit, or even cut and bolt thru if needed. I began with leather but now use bio exclusively. Leather is certainly longer lasting and aesthetically pleasing but nothing compares to the ease of use of bio…good luck!
