Mitch to mix it up a little more I have a book The Harness Makers Illistrated Manual by Willam Fitz-Gerald dated 1839 printed in1875 and reprint 1977 on page140 shows labled Heavy Draft Harness

the drawing shows a round d-ring harness with side straps wide back saddle . trace chains and pole hung but with pole chains attached at a point in front of both short tug [off and near side ]of each horse not hung off collar

I am looking for a work bridle in good condition. Size: can be comfortably adjusted to 17″ over the crown to the center of the brow strap on each side. Also 17″ from ctr of brow strap to bit ring. I prefer leather for a bridle. Also, I have 2 smaller bridles.
Thanks.
Mark

Mark I have a nice pair of used bridles that might work for you leather with some brass spotting nose band style with rounded blinders for very reasonable sale or trade
