On my list of things to do this year was to learn carriage driving. This is something I have always had a big fear of and felt completely out of control doing, having ridden all of my life driving is a very strange thing to get used to. Everyone told me driving is addictive and soon I would want to forget about riding, I dont see that happening but I am certainly starting to enjoy it.

I have bought some experienced driving horses to help me to learn without putting the fear of death into me and so this year I will have more driving horses available for sale and who knows, maybe I will be entering the driving classes at shows by the end of the summer but I have a lot of hours driving to do before I am ready for that!

Below is a short video clip of my 10 year old gelding who has been very patient with me and taking the family for a little drive, which is a lot of fun!
