Harness and bridles are available in many different materials but the new synthetic materials are becoming very popular. The choice is Biothane or Beta. Beta is the closest thing to leather in the tack marketplace. The main attributes are the extreme strength and soft to the hand touch. It has a flat matte finish which looks like leather.
The biothane is just as strong but has a very shiny finish which is most popular for tack that is used for parades and show harness. The beauty of both materials is that they are much stronger than leather and require almost no maintenance. To clean simply hose off - it will not absorb moisture or dirt and it will not rot or mildew. Tack made with these space age materials will last a lifetime.
