| Flexible Three Pad Collar for an Ox from Cow-harnessing in Germany, Steinmetz, 1936 World Association for Transport Animal Welfare and Studies (TAWS) |
A key feature of the three pad collar is that each side (hame) swings independent of the other, keeping it in constant contact with the for-and-aft movement of the ox's shoulders. (A work horse's non-flexible collar rests on the horse's breast which remains stationary during locomotion.)
