Next weekend, 24th-26th May is the International Carriage driving trial at Hopetoun House and just wanted to see if i could encourage some local folks to come along and specate.

This years compeition is a qualifer for the World pairs championship 2013 and the world horse singles in 2014.

There is driven dressage on Friday, then marathon and the world cup experience on Saturday and cones on Sunday. Oh and the private driving is saturday as well.
All free to spectate and its a great day out, i think someone has booked the good weather.
I'm backstepping for my friend in the advanced single pony class on Saturday but hoping to get the camera out for awhile.

And some photos from last year to give you an idea of what its all about
