The harness allows you to influence the horse to move forwards from behind, without having anyone standing in the firing line of the back hooves. The harness also allows you to secure the horse in the trailer without having to tie up the head. The cradle effect of the harness is far less upsetting to most horses than having their heads tied up – the horse feels pressure on its rear end if it steps backwards, rather than feeling that it cant move its head.
