Product Description
A classic work on training horses to drive.
From the Publisher
World-renowned driving expert Sallie Walrond believes that there is absolutely no reason why the moderately competent horse owner cannot train a horse to go willingly in harness, whether the pupil is an outgrown family pony or an unbroken two-year-old. To simplify the process, Walrond has produced this step-by-step guide, employing her own tried-and-tested method of breaking horses to harness. The lucid, easy-to-follow text provides all the necessary information, including advice on longeing, long reining, harnessing, hitching, carriage selection, and road safety. Sallie Walrond teaches, lectures, and judges internationally, making regular trips to the U.S. She is a life member of the Carriage Association of America and an honorary member of the American Driving Society.

Excellent Beginner Driving Book,
This review is from: Breaking a Horse to Harness (Hardcover)
This is a great book for a new person teaching a horse to drive. I have a lot of horse experience, but not in driving. I found the steps very clear, very sensible, and in small enough increments so that both the horse and I felt like we had accomplished something each lesson towards our goal. Highly recommend.

Breaking a Horse to Harness: A Step-by-Step Guide,
By Four Winds Inc. "Joe Babcock" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Breaking a Horse to Harness (Hardcover)
I read the reviews for this book, which were not particularly glowing, before I bought it and I bought it anyway to decide for myself. I found the book to be exactly what I wanted; a step by step guide to harness breaking. It is precise, almost to a fault, and informative. Anyone with horse knowlege can make sense of it. IT IS NOT FOR A NOVICE HORSE OWNER/RIDER. But if you are confident and comfortable riding and working around a variety of horses at varying levels of training, skill and experience, this is a good book for you. It IS written in "British" so be prepared to do some minor "translating." And there is not a glossary of terms (that I could find) relating to harness or cart parts, so some research on the readers part may be necessary. But informationally, I found the book to be sound and useful.
