Be careful of putting a trace loop on your hip strap. If it lifts your traces too high and breaks the line from breastcollar to hitch point, it will cause your goat to dip his hips down as he pulls because the weight on the traces will pull on the hip straps. Raising the whiffletree even a couple of inches can help prevent a lot of step-overs. Your shafts help with this too since they keep the goat's body straight when he turns.
