Curious about
Carriage Driving
These sessions are ideal for those
who are interested in knowing
a bit more about carriage
driving.
No prior knowledge of working
with horses is necessary as all
training is done under supervision
of a qualified carriage
driving coach.
Lasting for 2 hours, you will
shown how to hold the reins
in the coaching hand, then
have some fun putting into
practice what you've learned.
You'll then learn how to harness
a horse, put-to, then go out for a
short drive.
All sessions are carried out with dual reins for safety.
​
1-2-1 sessions and small groups welcome
(up to 3 people).
£90 per person
Spectators - £10 each
