Breaking a Horse to Harness: A Step-by-Step Guide

Rating:
Summary: This book is quite informative but has its flaws.
Review: "Breaking a Horse to Harness" is an informative book and is quite good for a basic overview of what you are getting yourself into. However, the book is a bit too "British". At times, I found the lingo a bit confusing. It would have been nice to see a "troubleshooting" section for problems you may incur while training; the author didn't seem to anticipate many problems while training. The book is not really detailed enough to use as your only tool for training; a book that is more "well endowed" in the areas this book lacks is recommended as an accompaniment. Overall, the book does a good job of reviewing the steps involved in breaking your horse for harness but should definately not be the primary training tool for first-time trainers.

Summary: Excellent Beginner Driving Book
Review: 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.
