Product Description

Product Description

"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. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The modern bible for training the driving horse, 12 Jan 1997
By A Customer
Beginning with a discussion of the horse's needs and character, "Carriage Driving" follows all the logical steps of training a balanced, responsive, safe driving horse . . . from ground training through pleasure and combined driving events. The authors use classical training methods to help novices and experts alike, to achieve optimum athletic performance from any driving horse. Includes sections on developing rhythm, straightness and bending, impulsion, collected and extended work, and offer solutions for specific problems and training difficulties. Highly readable, well illustrated.
