The only other magazine about carriage driving...
What makes In Harness different is that it's written by and for people of all ages and abilities who are interested in carriage driving.
How to find out more about driving horses seems to be a well-kept secret! Yet everyone agrees we are the friendliest of all the horse sports supporters. There are events going on all round the country and it's easy to get involved as much as you wish - you don't even need a horse or pony of your own.
If you want to learn to drive, you can find out how to go about it. If you want to get your pony broken to harness, what should you do? If you want to know more about scurrying, driving tandem, showing, horse driving trials (indoors and out) or just air your opinions, here's a magazine where you can do just that. If you want to get involved there are contact details and information about how to do so. You'll find lots to inform and entertain you in its pages.
