Driving Lessons

[Nanno]

I usually wrap the traces around the neck and hook the ends to the neck strap on the opposite side. You can either unbuckle the neck strap and run it through the slot on the trace, or you can run a piece of string through the trace and tie it to the neck strap. If the traces are still too long, take them over the neck again and hook them to the neck strap on their own side. I wish goat harnesses were made with hooks on the hip straps like the work harnesses for horses. They're made specifically for hanging the traces out of the way when you're not hitched up. With that in mind, you could also use a string to tie your traces to the hip strap if you have a ring or buckle on it. Some do and some don't. I think my Hoegger's harness has rings on the hip strap.
