PRIVATE CARRIAGE DRIVING
The British Driving Society Carriage Driving Classes turn back time and enable us to see the beauty and splendour of traditional horse and carriages as it used to be.
We are pleased to advise we are holding three private driving classes this year for all our spectators to enjoy. These will take place in arena 1 between 11.00am and 12.15pm. The classes are in grass rings, which will be watered if required. The show ground has a mains fed water trough for the horses along with a qualified vet on hand for the duration of the show.
We hope these classes will be supported by both our previous competitors and hopefully new ones too.
