Questions and Answers

Q: I want to get started in driving, where can I get some literature?

A: Your best source of information about carriage driving is through the American Driving Society (ADS), P. O. Box 160, Metamora, MI 48455, Ph: 810-664-8666, Fax: 810-664-2405. In 1992, fourteen of us spent many hours in meetings, on the telephone, and at the typewriter to put together a hand book for drivers, newcomers, or seasoned competitors. This book, "Manual for Driven Dressage", is still the best read text in our sport. It covers a variety of subjects, including choice of harness and carriage. In addition, the manual has a wealth of excellent line drawings that illustrate the text. I highly recommend that you purchase this manual and that you become a member of ADS and thereby get a steady stream of information and advice regarding safe and enjoyable carriage driving.
