Howe To Drive @ Bradbourne Carriage Driving Centre

Driving

Carriage driving is an exciting and exhilarating sport for the whole family. If you are thinking about learning to drive then Bradbourne is the place for you.  Here you will learn the skills involved in carriage driving, where you will receive one-to-one tuition from  Sara Howe, bronze medal winner for Great Britain at the World Pony Driving Championships 2005 and 2007 - and now GB qualifier for the September 2011 World Championships, or another of our highly skilled and extremely well regarded trainers, Sandy Punyer and Wendy Fielder.

Your lessons will begin with learning or demonstrating your knowledge of harnessing up the horse and putting it into the carriage. You will then master the rein handling skill by driving in the ménage, around the fields or on the local roads. For those of you who are ambitious you may like to try your hand at driving a pair or tandem. Lessons are one hour in duration.



Even experienced drivers need to hone their skills. You may be having problems achieving a particular movement, so having someone on the ground that can see where you may be going wrong can help. Twice a year we hold a carriage driving camp allowing fellow drivers to get together. We get drivers from all over the county coming down; we have a good laugh whilst learning something at the same time. When it comes to this event, there is also the chance of putting your horse into B & B with us, saving you the problems of commuting daily.  If you enjoy it that much you could also join Bradbourne Carriage Driving Club and meet other driving enthusiasts, some of which have also taken a few lessons with me.

Carriage driving takes place at many levels, Club, National and International, of which Sara has got two bronze medals represent Great Britain in 2003 and 2007. When winter moves in so does the training. Over the winter carriage driving moves indoors and so the fun goes on.
