Breaking a Horse to Harness

The author of this book argues that there are no mysteries to breaking a horse to harness, and with this thought foremost, she explains the training of either the outgrown family pony or an unbroken youngster. With her own method used throughout, the author includes detailed instructions on lungeing, long-reining and the practice of harnessing the horse to a tyre to accustom it to pulling prior to harnessing it to a vehicle as well as information on bits and bitting, types of harness and vehicles and safety precautions. The book contains over 70 photographs to help clarify each stage of training.
