Here’s a pic to show you exactly how the harness mount in the previous photo would have been used. (It’s the gray piece of metal sitting atop the wooden part of the harness.) By the way, the horse pictured is a Norwegian Fjord, one of the world’s oldest and purest breeds. And yep, it’s really more of a pony, but it’s sturdy and unusually quick and agile for its size. A Norwegian Fjord is what the Vikings would have ridden and used to pull their carts; the bones of the breed are frequently found in Viking ship burial mounds. The horse is still bred in Norway today.
