Quiz and Pie Night at llanybri. Come and have some fun.
The chance to visit Philip Holder’s Wellington Carriage Company near Telford and learn about the work he does restoring and building carriages. Philip has some fascinating vehicles and his knowledge of them and the traditional methods of building and maintaining them is legendary. We will be travelling in our own cars and after a stop for lunch, will be going to Philip’s for the afternoon.
Our Easter Show with something for everyone.
This is the draft schedule which will be updated once sponsorship has been secured. Please note that the show is now open to non members as well.
Training day covering all aspects of safety both at home and at events. Correct procedures to be followed to minimise the risk of any incidents. Preparing horses and ponies for events. Pitfalls and common problems. Followed by some driving training for a limited number of turnouts. The day will be open to members of the BDS and Cymru Carriage Club although others will be welcome on foot at an additional cost. Charges TBA.
For the second year running we are combining our annual meet and drive at the beautiful NT Dinefwr, with an opportunity to raise awareness of road safety issues affecting riders and carriage drivers (Pass Wide and Slow Campaign). Most of the events taking place are ridden but we want to show that, as carriage drivers, we have the same needs.
