5.0 out of 5 stars A marvellous work for both beginner and experienced hand., 5 Oct 2001
By A Customer
As a beginner in the sport of carriage driving, I read Sallie Walrond's "Breaking A Horse To Harness" with the trepidation of the new hand. Pleasingly, there was no need for concern as throughout the book Sallie describes in wonderful detail each stage of the training process. This is the only book on the subject I have found that explains, in depth, each process required to build a horse up to be confident in harness. I have applied Sallie's techniques and find I get the results she writes about. Right down to the smallest detail, such as having a friendly voice in a vehicle beside the horse when getting it accustomed to the road, she covers every element of the harness training process. A wonderful read that can be referred back to even when one has years of experience under the belt.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is a good guide to breaking a horse to harness, 12 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I used this book as a guide when I broke my horse to drive. I had never broken a horse to harness before and this book really helped me as it takes you through the steps. From advice on harness, bits and vehicles to lunging, long reining, putting to and driving on the road.
