Dumb Jockey — Bowman Leather

You may not know what a dumb jockey is.  Neither did Goran and Gerda, so they checked.  This is the information they found.

A dumb jockey is a harness for training horses that mimics the feel of having a rider on the horse’s back.  Used in early training to accustom the horse to the feel of a rider allowing for weight on the saddle area and resistance similar to a rider using reins.  Typically these were used more in Europe than in the USA.

A Dumb jockey consists of a saddle.  Attached to the lower part side checks are fastened and two arms with elastic ends extending upward to which adjustable reins and crupper strap are fastened.

The Bowman Leather Dumb Jockey is hand made of beautiful quality materials in a small shop by a master craftsman using traditional methods and only the best materials available.  All of the Bowman training equipment features the double bar buckle for extra strength.

Available in horse or pony size.  Stainless Hardware is standard.  Brass is available on request.  Brass harness is not returnable.  Please allow 6 weeks for Brass.
