Anybody who has the ambition to go out and drive with a single horse drawn carriage should know upfront that he is taking a risk. A horse is basically a flight animal, and you and your family are in the carriage drawn by it. So it only makes sense to limit the risk as much as possible by gaining knowledge about the basic techniques, rules, tips and tricks to make carriage driving as much a safe and pleasant activity as it can be.
This course helps you prepare. The techniques taught include the world renowned "Benno von Achenbach" reign handling system, how to put on the harness and how to hitch up your horse safely by an experienced instructor. You will be shown how to do things by many videos, pictures and study materials so you can prepare from within the comfort of your home.
Be sure you understood the materials by answering our thought provoking questions.
