You’ve found it! ComfyFit is the pleasure or sport harness you’ve been looking for!
**Please PLEASE read all the way to the bottom of this description!!
It is packed with information about this harness.
This is our well-loved, best-selling, most comfortable harness, specially designed with both the drivers and your animal’s comfort in mind. We spent years developing and tailoring this harness based on feedback from experienced drivers and trainers and working with animals of all kinds and sizes. The ComfyFit Harness is designed for comfort, durability, and ease of use. Whether you choose our standard configuration, or want to upgrade your new harness with one of our many options, we know you will be thrilled with the quality!
The ComfyFit Harness is made of an extra durable synthetic material and are padded with an extra soft pebble leather or a soft comfort vinyl that is wrapped around a soft layer of closed cell foam. Harnesses are sewn with heavy nylon thread and a lock stitch.
Which parts are padded?
The bridle has a padded and molded crown, a padded nose band and a padded chin. The breast collars (either the Deluxe or the Standard Curve) are padded, the top of the neck strap also is well padded. The saddle has padding (but it’s always a good idea to add a Permasoft Back Pad) and the breeching is padded.
As always, this harness is American made by craftsmen using traditional methods and contemporary materials. Our harness is guaranteed to fit and perform.
Items marked “upgrade product” may be purchased in conjunction with your complete harness purchase only.
The Standard Curve or Deluxe Breast collar are the two standard options. You can upgrade to the Comfy Collar or a collar hames as well!

ComfyFit Harness Upgrade Options include: (To select one of these upgrades you must click on the link below and then add the upgrade to your cart. These upgrades can ONLY be purchased when purchasing a harness set. Options without clickable links can be selected in the drop-down menus above.)
- Collar and Hames
- Treeless ComfyFit Saddle
- UPGRADE Comfy Collar
- UPGRADE Quick release shaft loops
- Different decorations on the brow band (no extra charge)
- Super-grip, English web lines (no extra charge)
- Teardrops and ornaments are available on various parts, please order them separately.
- UPGRADE Add Pair Ds to the breast collar so you can later use this harness set as a pairs or team harness. **PLEASE NOTE: Do NOT choose the PAIR option in the drop down menu unless you want TWO harnesses!!!! If you are ordering a single harness and need the pair ds then please click on the words Add Pair Ds, then add that to your cart.
- UPGRADE to Trace Swivels – this option is for the Standard Curve Breast collar. This allows the traces to gently swivel, keeping the traces nice and straight from the ring to the single tree. These are also really nice to have when you are using your breast collar for a pair as they allow the harness maker to add the extra D ring BEHIND the trace buckle so you can more easily attach the Side Hold Back Rigging (which connects the breeching to the breast collar when driving a pair.)
- Open Cheeks – Though these blinders ARE removable you have to change the entire cheek to turn this bridle into an open bridle. You can see a video of how to do that here:

More about the material used in the ComfyFit harness:
- Most of this harness will be matte finish. This means that the straps are not shiny, but it doesn’t mean there won’t be a bit of a sheen to them.
- Some of the harness will have shiny parts. That is due to the materials used to make that part of the harness. For instance the shaft loops will be a bit shinier than the turn back straps or the hold back straps. The traces will have more a shine than the other straps. Parts of the saddle are a bit shinier than the straps. On the bridle, the blinders will be shinier than the straps as well.
- Below, in the blogs that show up at the bottom of this product, you will see a blog called “Let’s Discuss Materials“. This blog will show you the synthetic straps used in the building of our harness. There is also a video in that blog. You will see how the newer style soft strap, which is used in the making of the ComfyFit harness, has a bit of a sheen to it, much more than our old soft strap.
- Also, keep in mind. our matte finish may look different in person than other harness makers. If you receive our ComfyFit harness and are not 100% pleased with your purchase we will take the unused harness back and give you a full refund. We understand that sometimes people have a vision of what they are getting and the real harness may not match that. We don’t want anyone disappointed with our product and stand behind our harnesses (ALL of them!) 100%.
- Thank you for understanding that the synthetic materials used are sometimes matte and sometimes a little shiny, but always quality!

Measuring For Your Harness
Please go to the Size Chart Page to watch a video showing how to measure.
We require measurements for EVERY HARNESS PURCHASE.
Our harnesses are guaranteed to fit. This means we need you to measure twice and order once. Or even better, measure three times and order once! We have a How To Measure Chart you can take to your horse to write down the measurements you get. We ask that you be as accurate as you can, without over thinking it or stressing about it. Mindy Schroder will be contacting you either through email or phone after you place your harness order, to confirm the measurements you gave. Here is a guide on to how to measure.
**We ask that you include the measurements for your harness in the Notes section of your order. After you click the Pay button, the next screen will have a place to write notes. That is the perfect place to give us any instructions about your harness as well!
How to Choose Your Size:
When you select your equines size from the down-down menu above, refer to these sizing charts below to select the proper category for your equine – VSE, Horse, or Draft.
The size of the equine also decides the width of the strapping. If you have an “inbetweener” size pony or small horse we do have an option of the Large pony width strap. Please indicate the width of strap you would like in the Notes section during check out. Our strap widths are below:
COM (corner of mouth to corner of mouth) measurement is the SAME as the Poll measurement!
