Learning to drive a horse

[Stinkbomb]

I would like to start learning to break Inky into harness over the winter. Does anyone know of the best societies / websites to look at/ join in order to see whether there are any trainers in my area, or to get general info about books etc..?

If you fancy a trip to Derbyshire, look up the Red House Museum. The lady who owns it Caroline Dale Lynch (I think!) is fantastic. I did a driving course with her a couple of months ago. She does a lot of TV work including Flambards - I was so excited! Good luck - we're aiming to drive our donkeys!
