Commercial Driving School
In
the two-week intermediate course, students will be taught
intricate knowledge of how to handle, harness, hook up,
and drive a horse-drawn carriage. Understanding horse
behavior and learning to "read" a horses' actions will
also be taught. Students will learn how to keep a horse
in good health as well as inspection of hooves and shoes.
By the end of this course, a student will be able to
drive a carriage in most outdoor environments and events.
This does not provide the student any legal right to
drive a carriage within the district of a Taxi board
regulated metropolitan area that has limitations on
horse-drawn carriages. Completion of this course will
provide the student with a Certificate of Completion.
Advanced School
The four-week course is a continuance of the two week course with the addition of driving a horse-drawn carriage in Nashville. The student will learn hands-on how to handle customer safety, horse safety, carriage maneuvering, driving conditions, weather conditions, attracting customers, and other issues with driving a carriage in any metropolitan area. At the end of this course the student will receive a Diploma in Advanced Horse-Drawn Carriage Driving and will be able to work for any horse-drawn carriage business or start their own. This does not convey any legal right to drive or start a business in a metropolitan area without first meeting city laws and guidelines.
