3 Prerecorded videos have been on tv this week and 4radio interviews and this morning a live interview on bbc1 and to top it all I’ve been invited by the Lord lieutenant to a memorial service in Swansea tomorrow. I hope all the publicity will encourage more people into the sport of carriage driving.
I love the sport, it is my life, and I owe it all to him!

Issy
Stretching at walk after a bit of fun driving an obstacle. This is so important to lengthen all his top line muscles after canter and tight turns. Issy wasn’t always good at relaxing after the excitement of obstacle driving.
Agility day, or training for people and ponies

Doug is coming on well learning to pull the carriage. He is a great little fella and not struggling,even with Peter in the carriage. He is happily pulling and doing difficult turns.
Star enjoying obstacle practice
Daily driving for the liveries is through an obstacle getting them all more supple bending around the different shapes in a good forward rhythm. All the horses old and younge are having fun doing different challenges.
