About This Book
The author combines practical instruction and memoir, drawing on long experience driving four-horse teams to explain techniques of handling, safety, horse selection, and breaking to harness. He recounts episodes from a coaching career, including competitive runs, routine mail and day-coach duties, and the effects of railway competition, to illustrate lessons in pace, horsemanship, and risk management. The work also outlines livery stable practices, training methods for drivers and horses, common mishaps and how to avoid them, and advice for maintaining teams and equipment.
