Seminars/Clinics

This spring, the CVDC hosted two clinics at the beautiful Bridle Brook Barns in Marlborough, CT.  The Susan Koso clinic was held on April 25 and was full and welcomed several auditors.  Our second clinic, on June 7,  was taught by Robin Groves with support from her husband, Wilson.  Both clinicians are long-time drivers, competitors and judges and are registered with the American Driving Society. Check our Upcoming Events postings for driving opportunities and fun events!

Field Trips/
Club Activities

There is usually at least one "Field Trip" each year to carriage interests at locations a little farther afield.   We also hold pleasure drives at local venues, including State Parks, Fun Days and Scurries to practice cones and obstacle courses , and offer educational seminars and speakers to learn more about the history and sport of carriage driving.

Competitions

Many of our members enjoy competing in the sport of carriage driving, predominantly at shows held in the Northeast.  Whether its competing at a Combined Driving Event (CDE), Horse Driving Trial (HDT), Arena Driving Trial (ADT), Derby or a Pleasure Show, there is fun to be had by all!
