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.
c. 1984, S/C, 2nd Ed, Rev... $15.00
