Really getting into driving - Sandringham Driving Trials (and more questions!)

Following on from our great experience at Windsor, Malibu_Stacy and I journeyed over to Sandringham to watch the national driving trials (there was a club event on as well, but we sat down in the sun and didn't really move far after that :p ). There seemed to be more classes here than at Windsor, but all provided great viewing, including a few near misses where grooms nearly/got thrown of the back of the carriage :p :D I think there may have been less fence destruction, but we did see the digger going to off to do a few post repairs, so I assume there was still some! It was great to see the para-equestrian class, with most still traveling at a ridiculous speed, including an extra cheecky pony that I believe was called George! :D

And the best part of the day? Fantastically tasty ice cream in the sun! :D :D

Now, questions:
1) In the para-classes are the disabilities banded in the same way that the are in the Olympics?


Get ready for 2014 as the FEI Para Equestrian Driving World Championships are coming to Sandringham.

The FEI has allocated the following Championships and World Cup Final during their Bureau meeting today:

2014: FEI World Para-Equestrian Driving Championship for Singles, Sandringham (GBR), 27-29 June
