Introduction to Carriage Driving
March 2-3, 2024
Carman Ranch, Morriston, Fl
Day 1
The course begins with lectures on the harness styles, types of carriages and the purpose of each to help you make educated decisions when shopping for your first equipment. In the afternoon, the class will be divided into small groups to allow students to have hands-on experiences with harness assembly, bits commonly used for driving that participants can handle and discuss, rein boarding which simulates driving a horse while handling a carriage whip and carriage maintenance. There will be a carriage display and talk on selection and our infamous “People driving People” where you will have the opportunity to “drive” each other and learn the importance of contact with the bit. Lastly a driving trainer will provide a live demonstration on how to start your horse on this driving journey beginning with long-lining.
Day 2
The day starts with a demonstration of driven dressage and cones, both a phase of combined driving events. Following that, students will get hands on experience learning how to safely hitch a horse or pony to a carriage with coaching from experienced Florida Whips members and their equines. Following lunch, students will actually have the opportunity to drive the horses and ponies they harnessed in the morning.
Information and registration for The Metta Baxter Introduction to Carriage Driving Clinic can be found on the Florida Whips website at www.flawhips.org under the tab Whips events. Questions?
