it will provide many happy hours of reminiscences to those who remember
the tranquil world of the horse and carriage - to those unfamiliar with
this era it should provide a link with the past contrasting delightfully

Breaking & Training the Driving Horse
by: Ganton, Doris
When it comes to the subject of Driving, there are virtually no basic
or detailed books to help the beginning driver. The material for this
book stems from the author's 30 years of experience with harness horses
and from her notes developed in conjunction with the driving courses she
has taught internationally. It is written with the training of a colt
in mind, but the instructions can just as easily be followed to train
an older animal or a saddle horse to drive. In the case of a saddle horse
(depending on his previous training and existing knowledge) many steps
can be speeded up or even omitted, but basically the steps remain the
same. Covers: Harness parts, preparation, ground driving, hitching, types
of vehicles, & more. Phots & illustrations. 85 pgs.

Driving: Development & Use Of Horse Drawn Vehicles
by: Richardson, Clive
The development of horse driving for pleasure, trade and sport is traced
here from the earliest times to the present day. Competititve driving
probably originated with Greek chariot-racing; now it is one of the fastest
growing equestrian sports. From the earliest primitive carts to the sophisticated
competition vehicles of today, the author traces both the technical evolution
of the vehicles, and the manner in which they were used. The author describes
techniques for restoring vehicles and for training horses and ponies for
harness work. All the forms of competition are described and analysed
- private driving classes, ride-and-drive competitions, concours d'elegance,
combined driving and many more, including the American reinsmanship and
fine-harness classes, and there is an extended account of the use of modern
technology. Includes a technical glossary - illustrated with 59 photographs
and 22 line drawings. 160 pgs.
