"Boofier head" -- HA! I love it!
I also love Team Snazzy Goat! My harnesses are betathane though so I'd prefer a bridle made from the same material. I got one with my harness but it doesn't even come close to fitting my goats. I've already taken one of them apart and I may see if the leather shop up in Pueblo can restitch it according to my specifications. I also want to try a Dr. Cook's bitless bridle and see if that works well for goats. I think I'll make one myself from leather scraps or nylon that I have on hand and try it before I buy one or have one made. I keep wondering if I should go ahead and invest in my own heavy duty sewing machine and some materials so I can start making goat harnesses myself. It would be so much easier than trying to work with horse harness makers over phone and email.
I do have the driving halter than came with the Hoegger's harness but I don't much care for it. I far prefer to drive in my Sopris halters. They stay put better, but even those have their drawbacks. Cuzco lost all the hair on his nose one spring when we were driving a lot because no matter how tight you crank it, a halter still rubs back and forth across the nose.
