Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the best fit for my "working" barn dog?
A: For the Small size, prioritize the chest girth measurement of 13"–16" over the weight guideline. If your dog is fit and muscular and falls between two sizes, we recommend sizing down to the smaller size to ensure they cannot slip out if startled by a horse.

Q: Is this harness suitable for long-distance travel to horse shows?
A: Absolutely. Beyond the barn, this harness is an excellent choice for transit; the double-safety closures and crash-tested strength provide security in the truck or trailer, while the step-in design makes quick rest-stop breaks effortless.
