Is Cottage Craft a good brand of harness?

[laceyfreckle]

I just wondered if anyone had heard of or used Cottage Craft harness?

Not the harness (I don't drive) but I have had cottage craft headcollars/girths/bridles etc in the past. Didn't strike me as exceptional (how exceptional can a headcollar be?), but no complaints

If you can get a good second hand set, yes, it's really very good. They don't make it any more.

Aah thank you. I have been offered one second hand but the person offering doesn't know much about harness. They said their mum used it on a two wheel cart but I can't seem to get her to understand what I mean by a sliding belly band. Do you know if they were made with a sliding belly band? Do I definitely need one that has to use as a starter harness for a exercise cart? (Thats me assuming a exercise cart is the best thing to start with?)

Friend had Cottage Craft pairs harness for years - not fancy but durable. Can't comment on the sliding back band as not applicable in pairs but I would imagine it would have.

I have one, mine has a sliding back band. As zoonie says, not fancy but durable. I got mine second hand and have been pleased with it, fine for exercise/training and if in good condition would pass muster at club events.
