« Driving Horses is the classic reference guide for people who drive horses, whether
on the farm, in competition, or as a business. If you’ve never harnessed a horse before,
how do you make sense of all those straps and buckles ? How do you hitch a pair so
they pull evenly? How do you hold the reins ? Driving Horses explains what you need
to know to work with your horses safely and efficiently, so you — and the horses —
get the most out of each day. Driving horses like a pro is all about the details,
and this guidebook is built on details. With more than 250 color photos and diagrams
alongside clear, step-by-step instructions, Driving Horses covers all the bases— from
different types of harnesses and collars, to how to get a harness on and off your
horse, to how to select the right work horse. Learn how to hitch a horse to an implement,
how to maintain correct lateral and longitudinal alignment, how to grip the reins,
and much more. Whether you’ve been around horses all your life or are just starting
to work with them, you’ll find this handbook essential. (First published as Farming
with horses in 2006 by Voyageur Press, an imprint of MBI Publishing.) » Présentation
