This message is from: Vivian Creigh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For those of you interested in Combined Driving, that is what we will focus on in our weekends of driving. Although I live in a beautiful spot with fabulous views they will have to speak for themselves as time doesn't allow me to offer the same amenities that Carol and Arthur do in their equally fabulous location in Nova Scotia.
I can, I promise, help you get ready for your first event or polish your performance for your next event. I have over a decades worth of experience competing Fjords at the top venues on the east coast as well as holding a ADS judges card in Combined Driving and Driven Dressage. I believe it is my successful experience as a competitor that make me a very effective teacher. Also being a judge allows me to view things from both perspectives. Not to mention the fact that I believe the Fjord to be ideally suited to the sport of Combined Driving. We will cover everything from what you need to pack before you leave home. How to drive a dressage test, how to properly condition your horse/pony for the marathon and what to do in the vet box before and after section E. How to walk hazards, how to walk cones.
