I know that on the list there are people who are fairly new to carriage driving. The Essential Guide to Carriage Driving is a wonderful book answering 100's of questions many of which are posted to the list daily. It was written by the list owner Jaye-Allison Winkel and Robyn Cuffey who also wrote Retraining the Standardbred Horse. The following are the titles of chapters Chpt 1 Welcome to Driving Chpt 2 Types of Driving (which includes a nice section on Recreational Driving) Chpt 3 Selecting and Caring for your Driving Horse or Pony Chpt. 4 Understanding How Harness Works Chpt. 5 Selecting and Caring For Harness Chpt. 6 Selecting the Bit Chpt. 7 Selecting and Caring for Your Cart or Carriage Chpt. 8 Driving Safety Chpt. 9 Harness Fitting and Putting To Chpt.10 The Basics of Driving Chpt. 11 Beyond the Basics (accepting the bit, bending , etc.) Chpt. 12 On the Road Again (driving on the road) Chpt. 13 Preparing for Competition Chpt. 14 Sleighs and Sleighing Chpt. 15 Driving Multiple Hitches and a last chapter I can't seem to find because I am looking at a rough copy of the book not the finished copy. Anyway if you are a student, trainer, someone starting out in driving or just wanting to become more knowledgeable this is a great book for you. Lots of pictures and hand drawn illustrations that make the book very user friendly. I think this book fills a niche that is missing in the many driving books available today by providing lots of helpful information and not concentrating on one type of driving. You can go to www.carriagedriving.net or www.trot-on.com to get a copy.
