Great book

The book has wonderful information, While a majority of it pretains to larger horses it's easily slid from size to size, I'm teaching a spotted Draft, Arabian, and a Mini all to drive(not together) and it is wonderful insight and knowledge to the skill.

Breaking a Horse to Harness: A Step-by-Step Guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
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.
Excellent Beginner Driving Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
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.
