Book Reviews of Carriage Driving: A Logical Approach Through Dressage Training
Book Review: Excellent book on classical driving
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is easy to understand for the beginner yet is full of quality classical driving and training principles. It also incorporates natural horsemanship(so old it's new again!) principles. Highly detailed but not overwhelming. Excellent book. This should be the bible of Carriage Driving.
Summary of Carriage Driving: A Logical Approach Through Dressage Training
"A book that will take the most novice beginner and permit him or her to progress to any level of driving with a clear understanding of how and why things are done."--William E. Miller, M.D., President, American Driving Society
"[The authors] obviously know their subject well and treat it with much sensitivity and wisdom. I only wish I had this book before I started my driving program."
--Sasha Rockefeller
The modern bible of carriage driving . . . now back by popular demand
Widely renowned as the definitive book on training the driving horse, Carriage Driving offers an easy-to-follow, practical guide to this increasingly popular sport.
The philosophy is simple but remarkably effective: If driving is as much fun for your horse as it is for you, he will be a willing partner in the endeavor. With that in mind, Carriage Driving focuses on building a strong physical, mental, and emotional relationship with your horse. Equine mechanics, selecting the right bit and tack, harnessing, and ground training are just a few of the topics addressed.
Drivers at any level will benefit greatly from this groundbreaking book, which has stood for more than a decade as the preeminent resource on training a balanced, responsive, and safe driving horse.
