I would like to buy a friend a scurry driving lesson/experience day for Christmas. The only one I can find seems to be hideously expensive though; has anyone been on one they would recommend?
I would ideally like to find a full day/half day scurry experience in region of £150 for 2 people, but in the absence of really finding anything I am willing to adjust expectations if anyone has any good suggestions.Alternatively a good carriage driving experience day might do, particularly if it was geared towards driving trials etc. rather than road driving.

Ideal location would be North/Midlands, but I am now so desperate to find the right thing that quality/price are probably more important than location.
 
Not sure whether it would be worth looking into, took this straight off there site:

Amanda Saville is absoultely brilliant and she does try driving days at bennington carriages.... will restart the scheduled ones in spring.

However she does do lessons at her place just north of the border.

this is her with Matt on only his second go and his first competition ....... which included cantering round the obstcle course :D :D :D
