This is a great book. We recently bought an old sleigh that needs to be refurbished and I wanted info on how to do it authentically.

This book has a wealth of historical information pertaining to the various types of sleighs and their differences. Within each catagory the models are described separately and in detail. A must have for anyone who wants to learn about these icons of the past.

Excellent Variety of sleighs, with essays of sleighs and sleighing giving valuable background information, plus a glossary of sleigh parts to help understand construction details.

Hello, I am truly happy with this purchase. It is very informative and well illustrated book. I have looked for a very long time and this was well worth purchasing. I have recommended this book to many people and they have been just as happy.

One day, I would like to build a large sleigh with my husband, so that our family can go Christmas caroling together through the snow. I'm intrigued by the simplicity and hominess of the Victorian era's holiday traditions. It was with that in mind that I purchased Horse Drawn Sleighs, by Susan Green. Her information was well-documented and -described, the illustrations were beautiful and detailed, and I feel that, with her book in hand, my able husband and I will be able to build a beautiful vehicle to transport family and friends when the winter snowflakes begin to pile up!
