Fudge used to drive in pair also been lead of team but not had time to do anything with him for a long time ,so nice to see him doing something again.

Prince Philip

It has been such an honour to know the Duke of Edinburgh, even in a small capacity.
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

Published 25th March 2021 | By Rowena Moyse

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.
