HARNESS SECUREMENT APPARATUS

摘要

A harness bracket 10 comprises a first securement member 12 and a second securement member 14. The harness bracket is arranged, in use, to be mounted to a carriage used in harness racing or trotting where the carriage is pulled along by a horse. A harness bracket 10 is mounted on to two shafts extending from the carriage 11. in order to secure a harness therebetween. The second securement member 14 is movable relative to the first securement member 12 in order for the securement means (i.e. a securement plane or the plane of the harness) to move towards an optimal plane for transferring the forces from the horse to the carriage 11 through the shafts 15. Accordingly, as the horse turns out of the line of the wheels 60 of the carriage, the second part 14 of the harness bracket 10 move and pivot to provide a securement plane at an angle to the plane of the wheels.
