NEWSLETTER
FROM ROWENA
at
SOUTH WALES
CARRIAGE DRIVING CENTER
Hi all ,
This is just to let you
know what we are planning this winter .
There is allot of interest
for fun events and competitions , a few competitors are
interested in competing in the national indoor series,
and qualifying to go to the championships at the end of
the indoor season in April. and also some juniors have
competed in the championships and have done very well.
` These indoor
competitions are primarily for novice drivers as the top
outdoor competitors do not do these events as it is
there rest time for their horses and ponies.
So this is a time for anyone
to have a go at competition with a precision and paces
test, followed by cones, with an optimum time (not too
fast or too slow) and the obstacles. horses don't need to
be as fit for these fun activities, as there is no
marathon or even road drive, every thing is done at your
own pace, But watch the juniors,! they are quite speedy
in the obstacles..
The best types of turn
out for this event are your little ponies they are best
suited to these indoor competitions and are great fun,
usually loving it. Having said that anything goes, so if
you want to bring horses you are just as welcome, as is
any size or shape of equine.
Two or four wheeled
carriages can be used with pneumatic tyres or solid
rubber. if possible a track width of 125cm, but we will
accommodate narrower ones please let me know in advance
if yours is narrower.

These events are dependant on enough support so if this
is what you want on in South Wales please support and
tell your friends.
membership of
the indoor driving trials group is necessary to compete
with adequate insurance for obstacle driving, if you are
not a member of either the indoor driving trials
group or the British horse driving trails group ,you may
not have insurance cover.
If you are a
member of the British driving society your insurance
cover does not stretch to obstacles, so if you want to
enter just the `precision and paces`and cones you can do
that for £20 entry on BDS membership
