Ten Midlands’ competitors vie for Championship honours

 Ten Midlands Carriagedriving competitors travelled to Ashfields Carriage and Polo Club for the 2024 British Carriagedriving National Championships (13 – 15 September). While Peter Young (Pony Fours) was the only driver to take a National title, successfully defending his 2023 win, Peter Bennett (Advanced Horse Pair), Mary Fuller (Novice Horse) and Sue Mart (Open Horse) were all Reserve
Champions.

Megan Wheeldon repeated her performance of last year, pulling herself up from ninth after dressage in the very competitive Open Pony championship to complete in third place thanks to a superb double clear in the cones. Also achieving a double clear in cones was Sandra White in the Small Equine section.

Karen Bassett was third in the Horse Fours, which produced an extremely tight contest at the top, Karen only missing out on the Reserve Championship when one of her team kicked off a ball in the first cone.

Other Midlands’ drivers taking part were Sandra’s husband Jon, Rosemary Armstrong (both in Novice Horse) and Angela Flanagan.

In Memory of ‘Madge’ Edwards

Image
 Those of you of a certain age will remember ‘Madge’ Edwards who passed away in December 2023.  I met Madge when I started carriage driving with the Wolverley Driving Club and enjoyed her guidance and enthusiasm for weekend driving rallies, traditional driving and, most of all, driving trials. Madge was later elected Honorary President of Wolverley Driving Club. In the 1990’s we drove our lorries, sometimes in tandem for reassurance, throughout the summer months to compete at the excellent two-day trials, run by the then Midlands Driving Trials Group, to venues like Chatsworth, Frog Hall and the Silverstone area. This was Madge’s heyday, a keen single pony driver and regular winner with the excellent Georgie. Madge delighted in getting her ponies fit in the forest behind her home and, when she hung up her harness, her enthusiasm transferred to my ponies, grooming for me in the forest and country lanes of Worcestershire. Madge was the manufacturer of ‘Forest Harness’, arguably the best

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!’ 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. T

Midlands enjoys a solid 2023 and looks forward to next season

 Midlands Carriagedriving held its AGM and Conference on Sunday 26 November, attended by around 20 members. The club’s finances remain in good health, having made a small profit on the year thanks to a tremendous entry for the Onley Regional, Para, Club and British Young Drivers’ Championship classes. Dave Wheeldon stood down from the committee and Jon White was duly elected as his replacement, there being no other candidates; both Ben Smith and Angela Flanagan were re-elected for a further term. Jon White has joined the MC Committee (Credit Kingswood Associates) Chairman Paul Hart gave a summary of the year, saying it had been a challenging time for all concerned since the loss of Dave West and with Lesley moving away as they had done so much for the club. He thanked Dave Wheeldon for standing in as chairman for an interim period, ably supported by his partner Tracy and daughter Megan. Midlands is very grateful to several ‘old stagers’ who had returned to support the club, not only as
