CEDAR CREEK CARRIAGE DRIVING EVENT

We participated in our first American Driving Society event in several years with Louise and Alan Fox. It was a superbley put on event that was great fun in spite of a torrential downpour Saturday PM. All three entries, Cindi with HH Joseph, Louise with HH Jamie, and Donnalee with HH Pershing all took one or more first places in the VSE division.Cindi had to have an adult rider because she is under 14. Alan and several other wonderful folks volunteered to ride with her.

The marathon was great fun and surprise of surprises Donnalee and Pershing were 2nd in the VSE division. The course was well marked but in some places very deep ruts after the hours of rain. The VSE went last so the course was easy to follow but very rutted. Still great fun. We have included a number of photos below.

You can be sure this will not be our last ADS or CDE participation. We have bred for athletic, competent driving horses and are pleased to re- enter this discipline. If you are looking for a CDE horse contact us as we have several started driving horses who will be more than competitive for the next show season.

Carriage Dog to Ride- Three of us in the cart was a sight to see! We started to put a sign on the back that said "warning wide load"!

If you have never considered driving in CDEs or other "big horse" driving events check for events in your area. There is a VSE division for minis up to 38". Your horses will enjoy the change of pace and so will you. If you love to drive the added component of dressage driving as well as the reinsmanship and cone classes will provide challenges and help increase the driving skills of both you and your horse.
