Driving A Tandem Horse Carriage Driving Help from Paul Doliveux.

Paul Doliveux. Achenbach magazine contributing writer and French Competitor. Humor and friendly writing is a delight and any driver or horseman interested in the psychology and physiology of horses will surely enjoy this read.

Paul Doliveux brings a unique perspective on the carriage driving tandem style, due to his comprehensive knowledge as an orthopaedic surgeon and consequent interest in the biomechanics of the horse. A student of Nuno Oliveira in dressage, Dr. Doliveux applies his experience in dressage to the challenge that driving tandem surely provides. Of vital importance, the method of rein holding is solidly discussed, as are longeing, handling and long reining. One handed and two handed techniques are described and necessary tips for turning left and right at different angles.

There is a thorough discussion of suitable horse breeds for the job, different carriages, and types of harness. Historical reference and anecdotes guide the rider happily through the pages, and Dr. Doliveux does an excellent job of also guiding you through the complexities of competition including FEI level driving trials, showing and advanced dressage. He makes it looks easy, which it surely is not, but his personal style engages you and you find yourself learning all sorts of interesting facts as you go along.
