Build community support via the wonderful sport of carriage driving. Learn to drive and join our carriage driving team, or come for a ride.

Who are we?

Our club raises awareness of nonvisible disabilities, neurodiversity and health conditions. Promoting the many benefits of interacting with horses and carriage driving.

Our carriage driving team competes at carriage driving trials both indoors and outdoors, promoting the club at the same time.

Training with GBPod training for clients to progress to potentially represent Great Britain.

Our ethos is to make carriage driving accessible to everyone, therefore no pony, carriage or equipment is required. We aim to provide carriage driving tuition just as someone would choose to go horse riding every week. 

Why are we crowdfunding?

This is where you should explain the reason you need to raise money, are you launching a new women's team? Perhaps you need to improve facilities or buy new kit? Tell us here.

  How we’ll spend the money raised

Monies raised will go towards providing subsidised tuition for clients to obtain a course of 6 lessons. In our experience this is sufficient to really get the hang of carriage driving and decide if this is the sport you wish to pursue.

For 2026, our goal is to be affiliated with British carriage driving and RDA Carriage Driving, this way we believe we can incorporate as many members of society as we can. Ensuring that carriage driving is inclusive to all.

Community impact

It’s important to explain the wider impact of your organisation for the whole community, who does it benefit and why? Perhaps your facilities are used for other purposes outside of sport too?

Carriage, Cuppa and Cake As a reward for your continued support of our club we are offering a carriage ride experience. This is around our local area, stopping off for refreshments en-route.
