Driving: Can anyone recommend a trainer in West Yorks?

[muff747]

I'm thinking about trying driving with a view to exercising my mini mare.
I have a trailer so would be able to transport to suitable places to drive in safety off road but I am not a youngster any more so would need something lightweight that I could get onto or into my trailer without too much effort.
Has anyone got some good tips and suggestions for a complete beginner?

Well thank you Neddy man...
It appears there is a shortage of driving trainers in this area, in fact even the surrounding area too as I posted on the main board under the Training section and had zilch replies.
I hope you can find this man from Pineapple Farm.
