Book

A tandem is a pair of horses harnessed one behind the other, pulling a small carriage. This elegant turnout requires special tack and harness and a different driving technique that has been lost for many years. This book hopes to revive the interest in this fashionable and interesting turnout.

The first book on this subject since Capt. C. Morley Knight’s book in 1884. Driving tandem was popular back in Queen Victoria’s time and it is now enjoying a revival. The elegant turnout requires a special harness and a different driving technique. This book also covers tandem driving, competition and showing.

The art of driving a tandem is presented in a very readable style. The specific harness needed for both leader and wheeler is explained, as is the schooling of the tandem horses. Rein and whip handling is covered extensively. Plenty of color photographs and artwork accompany this informative text.
