About Carriage Driving Events
Carriage driving encompasses a wide range of activities from pleasure driving to competitive combined driving. Drivers guide horses using long reins while sitting in a vehicle, which can range from simple carts to elaborate carriages. The discipline requires precise communication through the reins and voice, as the driver cannot use leg aids. Combined driving competitions include dressage, marathon (cross-country), and cones phases, testing versatility and fitness.
