In the the early days of the club members had their share of success at National Horse Driving Trials, producing several champions in the single classes. In recent years the members proceeding to national level have declined. This is more down to the cost of travel and entry fees, as many of our drivers are still capable of producing results at the top level.

The Club runs six events each year, together with training days. Our main aim is to enjoy friendly competitions whist maintaining the the welfare of our horses and ponies, and improving the standards of driving.
