Try Carriage Driving days<br />
The Bennington Carriage Driving Academy will be holding<br />
a series of ‘Try Carriage Driving’ days that will provide a<br />
unique opportunity to experience the equestrian sport of<br />
carriage driving.<br />
This new initiative has been designed to provide real,<br />
hands on experience proving how easy it is to get involved<br />
and of course, how much fun can be had! Aimed at the<br />
novice, you don’t need to have previous carriage driving or<br />
riding experience to participate.<br />
Each session will cover a range of carriage driving<br />
fundamentals, including long reining, harnessing up,<br />
examining different types of carriage and their purpose,<br />
and of course, driving! Our extensive facilities and indoor<br />
arena also allow us to hold the events even if the weather<br />
is inclement. Time: 10am - 3pm Cost per person £95<br />
The dates for these fun filled sessions are as below:<br />
• Saturday 20th <strong>August</strong> <strong>2016</strong><br />
• Saturday 24th September <strong>2016</strong><br />
Few spaces still available. For further details contact Sue Mart<br />
