Harness Racing Gear for Horses

Shop harness racing gear for horses, including specialised equipment for training, trackwork and racing. Our range includes hopples, headchecks, breastplates, traces, gaiting straps, race hoods, blinds, pacifiers, saddle pads, protective boots and other equipment from Zilco and FinnTack.

Race hoods, blinds, pacifiers and related headgear are available in different configurations for particular horses and purposes. Hopples, headchecks, breastplates and traces must be selected and adjusted as part of a compatible harness setup. Product names can be similar while fittings, measurements and intended applications differ, so check the individual specifications carefully before ordering.

The collection also includes specialised training and horse-care equipment used within racing environments, such as swimming leads and selected respiratory equipment. These products may also suit horses outside harness racing; their inclusion reflects their relevance to the management and preparation of performance horses.

Correct fit and compatibility are essential. Equipment should remain secure without causing rubbing, restricting movement or interfering with the horse’s breathing, vision or normal action. Seek guidance from an experienced harness racing trainer or equipment specialist if you are uncertain about the correct item, size or adjustment.

Inspect straps, stitching, clips, buckles, elastic, padding and other fittings before use, and replace worn or damaged components. Customers should also confirm that all race-day equipment, colours and configurations comply with the current rules of their relevant harness racing authority.
