Question

What is placed around the horse's tummy to hold the harness in place?

Answer 1

It is very well like a rope thing and it also goes around the face piece because i go riding in the hills and so just be prepared

Answer 2

The harness is held in place by a girth.  It does not go around the horse's stomach, but rather around the barrel (the stomach is further back).  A breastplate goes around the front of the horse's chest and a crupper goes under the tail to prevent the harness from sliding forward or backwards.

Answer 3

The piece you are referring to is the belly band and strap, the top is the gig saddle.  A complete diagram of a single harness can be seen at the following link
