The Gaiting (or Side) Strap runs from the end of the shaft back to the front bar of the sulky.
It is used for horses who tend to swing their rear end out to the pole. It can be used on one or both sides, depending on the horse. As the horse swings it's rear end out, it will come against the gaiting strap, the pressure of which will encourage it to straighten up.
This model is made from flexible tubing, reinforced with a synthetic strapping core. This gives the strap a cushion effect. Synthetic straps at each end for attaching to the shafts & sulky have plenty of adjustment to achieve a firm fit.
