"A book that will take the most novice beginner and permit him or her to
progress to any level of driving with a clear understanding of how and
why things are done." --William E. Miller, M.D., President, American
Driving Society
"[The authors] obviously know their subject well and treat it with
much sensitivity and wisdom. I only wish I had this book before I
started my driving program." --Sasha Rockefeller
The modern bible of carriage driving . . . now back by popular
demand
Widely renowned as the definitive book on training the driving horse,
Carriage Driving offers an easy-to-follow, practical guide to this
increasingly popular sport.
The philosophy is simple but remarkably effective: If driving is as much
fun for your horse as it is for you, he will be a willing partner in the
endeavor. With that in mind, Carriage Driving focuses on building a
strong physical, mental, and emotional relationship with your horse.
Equine mechanics, selecting the right bit and tack, harnessing, and
ground training are just a few of the topics addressed.
Drivers at any level will benefit greatly from this groundbreaking book,
which has stood for more than a decade as the preeminent resource on
training a balanced, responsive, and safe driving horse.
