In some large stables, where a saddler is kept, his workshop forms the harness-room. In others there is an apartment for the spare and old harness. In posting establishments there is usually a dry room, with a fireplace in it. Each set of harness is numbered, or named, according to the horses it belongs to, and hung always in the same place. In stage-coach stables and others of a similar kind, the harness in use is commonly hung in the stable, each horse's being placed on his stall-post. This encumbers the stable very much; but it appears to be the most convenient way of disposing of the harness. In gentlemen's stables, the saddles and harness are generally placed in the groom's sleeping-room, or in the coach-house. The stable is a bad place to keep them in. They get damp, soiled, and knocked about a good deal. In coaching stables, the harness is not so easily injured, and it is in constant use. Besides being dry and well aired, the room should have plenty of light; there should be racks for the harness, whips, and boots; stools or brackets for the saddles; pegs for the bridles; a shelf for miscellaneous articles; and a cupboard for brushes, sponges, bandages, bits, clothes, and other things of this kind, not in constant use.
