Product Description
Product Description
The author of this book argues that there are no mysteries to breaking a horse to harness, and with this thought foremost, she explains the training of either the outgrown family pony or an unbroken youngster. With her own method used throughout, the author includes detailed instructions on lungeing, long-reining and the practice of harnessing the horse to a tyre to accustom it to pulling prior to harnessing it to a vehicle as well as information on bits and bitting, types of harness and vehicles and safety precautions. The book contains over 70 photographs to help clarify each stage of training.

This book is quite informative but has its flaws.
26 Dec 1998
"Breaking a Horse to Harness" is an informative book and is quite good for a basic overview of what you are getting yourself into. However, the book is a bit too "British". At times, I found the lingo a bit confusing. It would have been nice to see a "troubleshooting" section for problems you may incur while training; the author didn't seem to anticipate many problems while training. The book is not really detailed enough to use as your only tool for training; a book that is more "well endowed" in the areas this book lacks is recommended as an accompaniment. Overall, the book does a good job of reviewing the steps involved in breaking your horse for harness but should definately not be the primary training tool for first-time trainers.
