DOWNLOAD CVDC BROCHURE

The Connecticut Valley Driving Club (CVDC) is a network of horse people with varied interests and experience, joining together for support, educational programs, clinics, monthly drive/rides, special events, equine advocacy, trail preservation, and social activities. Club members meet every month for a Saturday potluck, evening meeting and special program. The Sunday after our meetings we host member drives at different locations around scenic Eastern Connecticut. Riders are always welcome at the drives, as are new members and guests.

Every year, we host special events such as a spring CT Valley Driving Trial, and a Drive/Ride Pace at Lyme's Lord Creek. Some of our club members compete throughout the Northeast at Pleasure Shows and Combined Driving Events. Others enjoy sleigh rallies, or travel together to big shows as spectators. We even have a club member, Norm Krohn, who drove a chariot at Equine Affair with his pair of Fresians. One of our most famous members is former CVDC president, Pamela Pruitt. Among her many accomplishments, Pam, driving Cristal Belle Joy, won the 2000 AHSA National Single Horse Driving Championship held at the Fair Hill International CDE in Elkton, MD.

CVDC is very family oriented and welcomes all ages and driving disciplines. Club members receive a monthly newsletter. We are always looking for new members who are interested in driving. One does not have to know how to drive to belong, nor even own a horse. It is a friendly atmosphere, and fun place to meet others with the same interests. Come for the great food, stay for the meeting and try us out! You'll be glad you did.
