Subject: Re: [haflingerfriends] Driving book recommendations?
Get a mentor first. Have a good mentor teach you in person. When
driving, you have 3 seconds to get a horses' attention back on you if her mind
starts to wander. It is more critical in driving than in riding. Have your
mentor watch you drive,take several lessons. This is the best investment
you will make. Then drive with someone in your cart that can help you, that
knows horses.
I have all of these books too. Start with this:
The Essential Guide to Carriage Driving- Caffey and Winkel
Then read this:
Carriage Driving - A Logical Approach through Dressage Training - Heike
Bean
You will have so much fun, your saddle will collect dust!

These were suggested to me by my trainer- I have read the first two. The
first one is really helpful to understand tack and safety, and the second
one is step by step with lots of pictures. I still need to read the third
one~
