Carriage Driving Lessons...suggestions?

[Sophstar]

I'm looking to get my field share a carriage driving lesson for a Christmas present as he's bought a harness for one of his little ponies but has not yet had to chance to actually give driving a go. He helps me out whenever I need a favour with mine and thought it would be a good way to say thanks.

There are obviously loads of people who offer lessons out there, but any recommendations on a good instructor? Not an area of the horsey world I know much about since learning the basics at college. Based in Hampshire but I'm sure he would be willing to travel further out.

Help appreciated

There is someone excellent in Hants. Can't recall her name just now but when I do I'll pm you. Perhaps someone else on here knows her.

I can highly recommend this chap! masses of experience and really good at the whole carriage driving game, I had a taster session back in the summer and loved it. http://lowhill.grayswoodcarriages.com/

This lady is very good, although she is based in Wiltshire.

You should find a qualified instructor on this list.

Sorry for the delay. I was going to recommend the chap at Grayswood but as someone as already done it I won't bother to send a PM unless you tell me to. He has been recommended to me by a very knowledgable coachman and is approved by are the BDS. Details are apparently available on the BDS website.
