Breaking a Horse to Harness: A Step-by-Step Guide Feb 25, 2006
I read the reviews for this book, which were not particularly glowing, before I bought it and I bought it anyway to decide for myself. I found the book to be exactly what I wanted; a step by step guide to harness breaking. It is precise, almost to a fault, and informative. Anyone with horse knowlege can make sense of it. IT IS NOT FOR A NOVICE HORSE OWNER/RIDER. But if you are confident and comfortable riding and working around a variety of horses at varying levels of training, skill and experience, this is a good book for you. It IS written in "British" so be prepared to do some minor "translating." And there is not a glossary of terms (that I could find) relating to harness or cart parts, so some research on the readers part may be necessary. But informationally, I found the book to be sound and useful.

 Excellent Beginner Driving Book May 26, 2003
This is a great book for a new person teaching a horse to drive. I have a lot of horse experience, but not in driving. I found the steps very clear, very sensible, and in small enough increments so that both the horse and I felt like we had accomplished something each lesson towards our goal. Highly recommend.

 This book is quite informative but has its flaws. Dec 26, 1998
"Breaking a Horse to Harness" is an informative book and is quite good for a basic overview of what you are getting yourself into. However, the book is a bit too "British". At times, I found the lingo a bit confusing. It would have been nice to see a "troubleshooting" section for problems you may incur while training; the author didn't seem to anticipate many problems while training. The book is not really detailed enough to use as your only tool for training; a book that is more "well endowed" in the areas this book lacks is recommended as an accompaniment. Overall, the book does a good job of reviewing the steps involved in breaking your horse for harness but should definately not be the primary training tool for first-time trainers.
