Many accidents have been caused when a worn out harness breaks. A holdback tearing,
a snap breaking, or a trace coming loose from the single tree can cause you to lose control of your horse. The harness should be checked regularly, and worn parts should be replaced.
       Also, good maintenance of wear points on the horse buggy is very important. Always keep a good single tree and single tree bolt on the shafts. The single tree straps will not only keep the single tree from turning too far, but could hold the horse buggy in the event that the single tree bolt were to break. Keeping brakes in good working order is also very important, not only on down grades, but also to hold the horse buggy in case of any break in any part of the harness or buggy. The brake is great for holding the horse buggyat stop signs too.
