Synopsis
Hints On Driving by Charles Lewis William Morley Knight is a practical manual offering foundational instruction for novice horsemen in the art of driving coaches and teams. Originating in the late 19th century, the book covers harness fitting, saddle and collar adjustments, and the management of reins, bits, bearing rein, and breeching across single, double, and four-in-hand configurations, including curricles and cape-carts. It provides step-by-step guidance on starting, stopping, turning, and pacing, with detailed descriptions of hand positions, whip handling, and routes through traffic in urban settings. The work emphasizes safety, steady technique, and the development of “hands” and judgment through repeated practice, including sections on tandem and breaking to harness. Rich in illustrations, it aims to enable beginners to drive well with minimal tutorage, while offering seasoned coachmen refinements and reminders on appearance, equipment maintenance, and the psychology of horse response. The text is a historic reference on carriage driving, blending discipline with practical horsemanship.
