Davila Art & Books

New Addition to Lynn R. Miller’s Workhorse Library!

“In the late sixties, when I first looked intently at harnessed mules and horses longing to understand how the system worked, ignorant of what was most important, it was the harness that confused me more than the anatomy and movements of the animals, even more than the overall system. I saw a tangled basket of straps, chains, ropes, all seeming to have purpose. Yes, there were some diagrams in dusty libraries and old books and these did offer basic explanations of the structural design of some harness varieties. But those didn’t help me to understand in a truly useful way. It would be a few years before I would have my own first team and a pile of old harness to figure out.”
