You don't have to be a professional to be an effective trainer. By empowering yourself with curiosity and a willingness to keep learning, you are already well on your way to accomplishing great things with your horse.

AND, it helps to have a PLAN!

I've compiled a list of every single skill that I believe a horse should have a good handle on to become a safe and pleasant driving horse. Print it out, hang it in your tack room, and track your horse's progress. You'll be able to see clearly where you're at, and know what skills to focus on next.
