The term 'Sports Driving' is relatively new in the field of equestrian sports. This book demystifies the 'myths' of competitive carriage driving. It contains advice on acquiring the right pony and equipment, schooling to achieve results and how to turn out yourself and your pony at a National Championship. The author details all three phases of competition with tips on achieving flow and bend in dressage, speed in the marathon and accuracy in cones. "Sports Driving" gives a complete picture of the sport from starting flags to finish.
