The manual outlines one of several accepted ways of training. See “For More Information”(page 27) for other publications that can help you continue to expand your knowledge.  \n4-H members can use the 4-HDriving Manual to train any equine to drive. For simplicity’s sake, the manual uses the word “horse” to stand for all equines.  \nWords that appear in the text in small caps are found in the Glossary.  \nDriving is a valuable training option for light horses, draft horses, ponies, donkeys, mules, or miniature horses. For example, when a 4-H member grows too large to ride a pony, he or she can learn to drive it. A full-size young horse can be driven before it’s physically ready for riding, which shortens training time and gives it experience. A mature riding horse’s value increases if it can also pull a cart.  \nFor driving, you need a vehicle and harness. Vehicles and harnesses are available in several price ranges through tack stores or catalogs. The driver, horse, vehicle, and harness together are referred to as the turnout.  \nThe 4-H Driving Manual was developed and written by the Pacific Northwest (PNW) 4-H Driving Publication Committee. The team was led by Erika Thiel, 4-H program coordinator, University of Idaho. Oregon members are Roberta Lundeberg, program coordinator, 4-H youth development, Oregon State University; and Connie Mobley, Peggy Ashford, and Rennie Squier. Washington members are Jerry Newman, Extension 4-H youth development specialist; Jennifer Leach, Extension 4-H youth county faculty and interim 4-H state equine specialist, Washington State University; and Pat Pehling, Washington State 4-H Equine Advisory Committee. Committee member from Idaho is Carrie Stark, 4-H youth development specialist, University of Idaho.  \nThis manual was adapted from 4-H Horse and Pony Driving Manual (PNW 229) and Harness Driving Manual and Rules for Washington State (EM4881) .  \nFor corrections or changes to this publication, contact:  \nIdaho  \nUniversity of Idaho, 4-H Youth Development  \nP.O.
