Random question.... Which would be more work?

[Sparkles]

Hacking or driving 4/5 miles to a competition?

We (walk) hack there normally but pondering which would be less hard work? (light two wheel vehicle)

Thanks! 😊

Assume you mean driving, as in driving the horse (as opposed to travelling the horse on a lorry or trailer)?

Think it would depend on the competition - I would treat it as a warm up and so hack if it's a ridden competition, drive if it's driving.

not sure about for the horse but it would allow you to take more gear if you drove

Yes driving the horse lol ��

That was my thinking too, though we have water etc available there so no buckets etc I need to take. Plus he's covered in plaits and is a xc event so not too worried about brushes etc he'll stay quite clean and only doing one qualifier class anyway.

Decisions! I suppose walking isn't really that much work either way.
He's fit enough for either way, just trying to decide if saves his back driving than riding all the time.

I expect you might cause some chaos arriving driving him to a standard ridden event...

We haven't so far... There's two entrances and the lorry park is just within a huge estate, it's very easy to just unhitch away out of site OK. That was one of my main thoughts originally also!
