Carriage Driving
Operating on a Monday and a Thursday morning 9.30am to 12.00 noon
The Driving Group was formed 10th October 2007. Volunteers spent the winter of 07-08 learning the new skills required. Harnessing, putting the pony to a vehicle and learning to drive. Bob our first driving pony was purchased in March of 2008. The group passed all inspections and test's by RDA officials in June 2008.
Monday was to be our driving day but it proved so popular that another team of volunteers was formed in September 2008 so we could also operate on a Thursday.
We now have ponies Danny, Georgie and Tonto who help our clients to enjoy the art of Carriage Driving.
Anyone is welcome to come along and see us on those mornings with a view to taking part either as a client or a volunteer. You can obtain details from Diane Hirst on 07966 595153.
