It is important to learn some basics of driving horses so you can understand what the driven horse needs and expects from you. With the proper skills you can develop better communication with your horses, be more comfortable with the lines or reins, be a confident, competent and a safer driver. Safety is paramount.
We also have several carriages, carts and wagons for sale and we order harness to suit your individual needs. You may click on Carriages & Wagons for factory direct or Vehicles for used ones. Driving Accessories include helmets and vests.

Professional training is a wise investment.

Before you buy horses, equipment, harness and before you attempt to drive your horses PLEASE seek professional assistance. Learn to drive before you risk yourself, your family and your horses. Many of our students have come to us with a horse, harness and vehicle only to learn nothing fits right or they bought something not suitable. Learn about the sport of driving before you waste you money!

Questions: How long does it take to learn how to drive?

That depends on you and your ability to grasp what we have to teach. We suggest at least two weeks to be comfortable with the basics, but it may take longer depending on what you want to do. Most accomplished horse-back riders find it difficult to stop neck-reining and using leg aids. Once you understand the different use of the reins (lines) for communication, then the art of driving can begin. There is a lot to learn so schedule as much time as you can. If you can only take a week at a time - you will lean the basics and then decide for yourself if you would like more experience. Some people can go home and drive a well trained horse after a week of lessons, but it is like anything else - you just can't learn it all in 5 days or even 2 weeks. It takes time and practice to be safe and efficient.

There are always risks involved when you work with horses, but what you can learn at The Fraser School of Driving may lessen the risks to you, your family, horses and equipment. Also offered are Safety Clinics for Commercial Carriage, Wagon and Sleigh ride businesses. Drive Safe!

We have a variety of horses we may use for driving lessons. You are welcome to bring your own horses for your lessons if they are already trained to drive. See Rates.

If you are looking for that special horse we have some wonderful driving horses for sale and we order-buy horses for people who want something we don't already have. We custom order Harness depending on your horses, vehicle and what type of driving you want to do.
