Gain a competitive edge with TWisted 3D®
The Close Contact 3D™ design of the TWisted 3D® harness leaves the sensitive withers area completely free—no pinpoint pressure or impact. It also allows for full range of motion in the front legs without restriction.
The shaped top section sits on a flat area of the spine and conforms to the horse’s natural build. There’s no levering effect, the harness stays steady, and side-to-side motion is significantly reduced. The sulky runs more smoothly behind, improving the driver’s control and feel.
Because of the optimized saddle shape, the overall structure can remain narrow and lightweight. It stays in the correct position without pressing against the lungs, and also reduces the typical drawbacks of American sulkies by lessening pressure on the hindquarters.
