This comes up on CD-L (the Carriage Driving List) from time to time. Some folks think the Euro Collar is great; some folks hate the concept. It combines aspects of both the breast collar and neck collar. Some claim it takes the best parts of both styles; others feel it uses the WORST features of both! As I recall, the last time it came up, someone said that they are not yet being made in sizes small enough for ponies or minis. Personally, I recently became a convert to neck collars, after driving my donkey for years in a breast-collar harness. She basically said, "What took you so long?!?"---she goes much better in the full collar than she ever did in the breast collar. But, what style of harness you use has to be "matched" to your vehicle. A neck collar won't do the right thing with a road cart, and a breast collar isn't designed for a low-draft vehicle (or for "dirt work"---pulling anything along the ground).
