The land harness or also called breastplate harness,

has the great advantage over the collar of the city harness that it can be better adapted to different horses by buckling it up. All carriages that are unpainted, left in natural wood or covered with light or brownish wood glaze are a good match for the land tension.

The breastplate harness of the land harness is also called Sielen harness. Brown harnesses or working harnesses, as are frequently used in southern Germany and Austria for Haflinger and draft horses, also belong to the land tensioning. These harnesses are often partly made of wood and leather and are richly decorated with colourful ornaments.
In Bavaria and Austria such richly decorated working coats are common especially for draft or Haflinger horses.

In agriculture and forestry, heavy, stable working harnesses are used.  These harnesses often include chains or special, conically twisted hemp ropes instead of leather pull cords.  Instead of the usual double ring bridle or curb bit, you can also use bridles with chain and toggle.

The driver wears a national costume or suit with felt hat, the co-driver traditional costume or riding clothes. The tidy carriage driver drives with brown leather gloves and a buck cover or buck apron (apron) to protect the clothes from the greased line. A stick whip and the double ring bridle or post curb belong to the land tension.   
This is the only curb that is permitted for land tensioning.

Breastplate harnesses are only driven with leather holders. For shore power, round/oval lamps are used.
