Animal-drawn vehicles have either a pair of shafts or a single pole projecting forwards for about the length of one animal. An animal between shafts wears harness breeching, which attaches forward to the shafts. As the animal slows, the vehicle runs forward, and the shafts pull the breeching forward against the haunches of the animal, which can thus slow the vehicle. A vehicle with a pole has a pair of animals either side of it – their breeching works in a similar way, attaching forward to the pole either directly or by way of their collars. In a larger team, the <a href="/wiki/Driving_(horse)#Teams" title="Driving (horse)">leaders</a> are in front of the shafts or pole and thus cannot slow the vehicle; nevertheless, they sometimes wear breeching for show. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Oktoberfest-Pferdegespann.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Oktoberfest-Pferdegespann.jpg/220px-Oktoberfest-Pferdegespann.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Oktoberfest-Pferdegespann.jpg/330px-Oktoberfest-Pferdegespann.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Oktoberfest-Pferdegespann.jpg/440px-Oktoberfest-Pferdegespann.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3596" data-file-height="2397" /></a><figcaption>Team of six, with the wheelers in breeching</figcaption></figure> <p>Breeching may be omitted where the animal does not need to provide substantial braking. For example, in very light harness, such as in a <a href="/wiki/Sulky" title="Sulky">sulky</a> used for <a href="/wiki/Harness_racing" title="Harness racing">harness racing</a> or in a light cart used with <a href="/wiki/Fine_harness" title="Fine harness">fine harness</a>, the weight of the vehicle and passenger is little enough that the girth and <a href="/wiki/Crupper" title="Crupper">crupper</a> of the harness provide sufficient braking support. Breeching may also be omitted if the vehicle has efficient brakes on the wheels – examples include larger <a href="/wiki/Carriage" title="Carriage">carriages</a> and modern vehicles with <a href="/wiki/Disk_brake" class="mw-redirect" title="Disk brake">disk brakes</a>. Similarly, breeching and the requisite shafts or pole are not needed for a dragged load such as a <a href="/wiki/Plow" class="mw-redirect" title="Plow">plow</a> or a log that will not move on its own, nor for a <a href="/wiki/Narrowboat" title="Narrowboat">canal boat</a>, which is towed by a long rope from the bank. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ochsenkarren.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/Ochsenkarren.jpg/220px-Ochsenkarren.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/Ochsenkarren.jpg/330px-Ochsenkarren.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/Ochsenkarren.jpg/440px-Ochsenkarren.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3008" data-file-height="2000" /></a><figcaption>Oxen harnessed to a cart by <a href="/wiki/Yoke#Bow_or_neck_yoke" title="Yoke">bow yokes</a> alone</figcaption></figure> <p>Historically, additional animals were sometimes used to brake very heavy vehicles on steep downhills, being hitched in harness breeching <i>behind</i> the load. This is still done when logging in very steep terrain. </p><p>Breeching is not normally used for <a href="/wiki/Ox" title="Ox">oxen</a> in <a href="/wiki/Yoke" title="Yoke">yokes</a>, where braking is provided by pulling back on the yoke or girth (depending upon the type of yoke). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="False_breeching">False breeching</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Breeching_(tack)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: False breeching"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On a light vehicle with shafts, <i>false breeching</i> is sometimes fitted to the vehicle, instead of using harness breeching. A horizontal strap is attached between the shafts of the vehicle, just behind the animal. When the animal slows or goes downhill, the vehicle runs forward, pushing the false breeching against the <a href="/wiki/Hip#Haunch" title="Hip">haunches</a> of the animal, which can then push backwards to slow the vehicle. False breeching is generally limited to use with well-trained, steady animals, because if the animal <a href="/wiki/Rear_(horse)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rear (horse)">rears</a> or falls there is a risk of the false breeching running up over its back. It is sometimes used to help show off the animal's haunches, which would be partly covered by harness breeching.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Saddle_breeching">Saddle breeching</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Breeching_(tack)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Saddle breeching"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:20151016-ESP_A.MARKUS_CJOPCOMMTF-11_(22163682680).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/20151016-ESP_A.MARKUS_CJOPCOMMTF-11_%2822163682680%29.jpg/220px-20151016-ESP_A.MARKUS_CJOPCOMMTF-11_%2822163682680%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/20151016-ESP_A.MARKUS_CJOPCOMMTF-11_%2822163682680%29.jpg/330px-20151016-ESP_A.MARKUS_CJOPCOMMTF-11_%2822163682680%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/20151016-ESP_A.MARKUS_CJOPCOMMTF-11_%2822163682680%29.jpg/440px-20151016-ESP_A.MARKUS_CJOPCOMMTF-11_%2822163682680%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4867" data-file-height="3245" /></a><figcaption>Loaded Army pack mules with heavy-duty breeching</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Grand_Canyon_National_Park,_Bright_Angel_Trailhead_Stone_Corral_0061_-_Flickr_-_Grand_Canyon_NPS.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Grand_Canyon_National_Park%2C_Bright_Angel_Trailhead_Stone_Corral_0061_-_Flickr_-_Grand_Canyon_NPS.jpg/220px-Grand_Canyon_National_Park%2C_Bright_Angel_Trailhead_Stone_Corral_0061_-_Flickr_-_Grand_Canyon_NPS.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="126" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Grand_Canyon_National_Park%2C_Bright_Angel_Trailhead_Stone_Corral_0061_-_Flickr_-_Grand_Canyon_NPS.jpg/330px-Grand_Canyon_National_Park%2C_Bright_Angel_Trailhead_Stone_Corral_0061_-_Flickr_-_Grand_Canyon_NPS.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Grand_Canyon_National_Park%2C_Bright_Angel_Trailhead_Stone_Corral_0061_-_Flickr_-_Grand_Canyon_NPS.jpg/440px-Grand_Canyon_National_Park%2C_Bright_Angel_Trailhead_Stone_Corral_0061_-_Flickr_-_Grand_Canyon_NPS.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2000" data-file-height="1149" /></a><figcaption>Grand Canyon tourist mules wearing breeching</figcaption></figure> <p>On both pack and riding stock, if breeching is used then generally a <a href="/wiki/Breastplate_(tack)" title="Breastplate (tack)">breastplate</a> is used as well. </p> <dl><dt>Pack animals</dt></dl> <p>Breeching may be used to stabilize the <a href="/wiki/Pack_saddle" title="Pack saddle">pack saddle</a> of a <a href="/wiki/Packhorse" title="Packhorse">packhorse</a> or other pack animal, by keeping the saddle from sliding forward, especially on downhill tracks.
