2024 – Bring it on!
With longer daylight hours and, hopefully, warmer, drier, weather to come, the 2024
outdoor carriage driving season will soon be here – and at Midlands Carriagedriving,
it’s a case of ‘Bring It On!’
outdoor carriage driving season will soon be here – and at Midlands Carriagedriving,
it’s a case of ‘Bring It On!’
To begin, for the first time since 2019 (pre-Covid), the club will be presenting over 20
trophies and shields across all classes at its Championships to be held at Oasby in
August; the Points League is to be revamped with some classy new-style rosettes
awarded at the AGM in November.
Kicking off the season will be the first of four One-Day Events at Anslow in
Derbyshire. These are popular competitions open to all, even the smallest equine,
and ideal for getting going, bringing on a novice animal – or driver – and refreshing
the brain. Dates in 2024 will be Sundays 28 April, 19 May and 16 June plus Saturday
24 August which will end the season.
The club’s Two-Day Events begin at Thoresby in Nottinghamshire (11 – 12 May), a
great venue with the dressage, cones and obstacles set in parkland. The marathon
will have a new route – avoiding the pigs! Next up is Onley Grounds in Warwickshire
from 27 to 28 July which will host a Two-Day National alongside Club classes. The
dressage and cones arenas are on lovely flat ground while the premises boast
permanent toilets and showers as well as a café and farm shop.
Last but far from least is Oasby in Lincolnshire from 17 to 18 August which will have
classes for all and incorporate the Midlands Club Championships. The host of cups
and trophies to be awarded at the AGM include three for Grooms – vital members of
the competition. Put the dates in your diary!
