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.

i wondered how the straps were attached at the top and bottom which held the stretchers up off the ground this is what i was wanting to see if you have any pictures of your front gear i would like to see that when i work four in the woods i use this style of driving using one line the wide brechening is what we have always used in this area for wagon work or farming i also like using the lead harness for lots of jobs thank you for the pictures ronnie tucker

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.
