Carriage Driving is a form of horse driving in harness in which larger two or four wheeled carriages, often restored antiques, are pulled by a single horse, a tandem or a four-in-hand team. Pleasure competitions are judged on the turnout, neatness or suitability of the horse or horses and the carriage.

Aberdeen Carriage Driving Instruction Scotland
Pleasure driving is the all encompassing term for, quite simply, driving for pleasure. There are many organised drive outs giving beautiful scenery and great company. The only equipment required for pleasure driving is a safe, clean and well fitting harness, a safe and appropriately sized exercise vehicle and a horse or pony correctly broken to drive and going in a safe and relaxed manner
Marathon - This phase is what most HDT drivers live for. Its an adrenaline pumping, water splashing and all out mud throwing thrill ride. It consists of either a 3 or 5 section marathon including tracks and roads sections, trot sections and walk sections all timed to be performed at set speeds. The last and final section is the obstacles. This is usually up to 10km and includes around 6 obstacles. The obstacles are often built using natural materials which may include water, to form a series of gates which must be driven in the correct order as quickly as possible. With different options for routes this requires great skill and confidence from the driver and immense agility and obedience from the horses.
Cone driving would be the equivalent of the show jumping round in a ridden three day event. After the exhilaration of the ...

Ride and Drive - Carriage Driving Harness, Accessories, Bits and Books
Ride and Drive was formed in 1988 by Julia Horwood with the aim of providing high quality bridlework and harness for the discerning rider or driver. She was trained at Cordwainers College and was accepted into the Society of Master Saddlers as a Qualified Harness Maker in 1997 following an assessment of her work. In 2005 the quality of her work was assessed and she upgraded to a Master Harness Maker.
All leatherwork is produced on the premises and all harness is made to order. We only use selected hides of English leather and best quality furniture and fittings.
She has a very broad knowledge of bits and bitting (lorinery) and works closely with a bit maker to provide a wide range of bit styles and mouthpieces specifically for driving.
In 1990, to enable potential customers to see the quality of our work, we started taking a trade stand to driving shows. We were soon being asked to supply driving accessories as well as our harness and since then we have steadily built up the range of accessories that we keep in stock. If you are unable to get along to our stand we are happy to supply most items by mail or courier.
In 2000 we became distributors for Tedman synthetic harness and subsequent ...
Ashfields Carriage and Polo Club, Carriage Driving Centre
Mr Terry Chambers bought Ashfields in the spring of 2003 with the aim of fulfilling a dream of creating the ideal stable yard for carriage driving plus a carriage museum and has now transformed it into Ashfields Carriage and Polo Club as a state of the art equestrian yard, with 3 blocks of stables set out in the American barn style.
Set in 500 acres of beautiful Essex country- side with 80 acres of post and rail fenced grass paddocks, Ashfields offers a wide range of equestrian facilities, events and a fully catered, licensed function suite.
45m x 45m indoor school.
In the early sixties Ashfields was a dairy farm holding 400 head of cattle. It had a large farm house and a few farm cottages which have now been sold off separately.
Ashfields` previous owners then bought it and turned it into an equestrian yard and polo club, converting many of the barns into stables
This was when Terry Chambers bought Ashfields, the barns were beyond repair and planning permission was applied for and granted which was the start of the long job of converting them into modern stables.
But the work is still continuing. In Summer 2008 our new indoor school will be co ...
