5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Beginner Drivers, February 24, 2000

By A Customer

This is a very well illustrated book and helpful for beginners. I'm in the process of breaking my pony to drive and have used the book a lot to figure out what straps get attached where! The written explanations and tips are good with a definite emphasis on safety at all times. This is a good training manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent How To, January 27, 2000

By	Northeast Texas Reader (Northeast Texas, United States) - See all my reviews

I read this book several years ago when I decided to break my hunter to drive. The initial harnessing of my horse was literally "by the book" due to the wonderful pictures. I had horse, cart, and harness; but the harness didn't come with directions of what to hook where! This book saved the day. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly well-written book on Harnessing the Horse, March 17, 1999

By A Customer

Book centers on light horses, however heavier breeds can benefit from the training tips. The black and white photos were a bit dark, but sufficient to illustrate the author's points. Illustrations of where the harness parts fit were the best part! Covers mainly carriage-type harness, but touches on other types. A book that was sorely needed in the equestrian field.
