Horsikin
The horsikin, or horse mannequin, was used in the making and fitting of harnesses. It was much easier to use a non-moving horsikin than to take a live horse into the shop. Horsikins were also used in carriage sales displays. The Museum's horsikins were used at Cole-Haan Harness Makers in Portland, Maine.
