Anslow Event 28th May

Image
Another great day out at Anslow for Midlands Carriagedriving Sunday 28 May saw another great day out at Midlands Carriagedriving’s One-Day Event, held at Anslow in South Derbyshire. Organised by chairman Paul Hart, ably assisted by his wife Ann and umpteen volunteers, Anslow’s ODE’s are proving inclusive and ideal for all aspects of driving trials. From the smallest equine to big horses and encompassing both abled and disabled humans, these events provide competition status without pressure and the opportunity to train as well as compete. Joanne Gadsby (Novice Horse) and Lucy Lee – driving the diminutive 17-year-old Maverick in Short Format Pony – were the only ones to achieve a double clear in cones while Mark Riley (Open Horse) produced a lovely dressage test for 45.62 penalties, best of the day. Also scoring under-50 were Joanne (47.60) and Chris Ainscough (48.09). (Left to Right: Lucy Lees, Joanne Gadsby, Mark Riley, Margaret Warmsby) Despite having a ‘Senior Moment’ in Obstacle 3,...

Quality counts at Anslow

Image
 Quality counted at Midlands Carriagedriving’s second ODE at Anslow (Sunday 22 June) despite low entries. The event, once again put on by chairman Paul Hart, enjoyed a respite from the recent heatwave and proved once again, Anslow has something for everyone. In the Small Pony/Very Small Equine class, young driver Theo Charnley and his lovely coloured cob – who also compete in ridden dressage – put in an excellent performance to score best dressage of the day, ably assisted by Dad on the back of the carriage. Anslow regular Chris Ainscough brought out a new pony at its first event. Chris took things easy and the pony will have learnt much from its outing in the Novice Pony class which went to Michael Evans and his bay roan, having travelled all the way from Carmarthen to take part. Another regular, Linda Wiggin put her cones penalties down to driver error, her first of the year, in the Intermediate Pony class. However, it was a double clear in cones – and the only one of the day – f...
