In short, the driving sport is about handling a carriage that can occur in many different styles and varieties. There are also different disciplines in the driving sport. They differ greatly in terms of requirements for horses and handlers. The most common disciplines are dressage-driving, cross country- driving, and obstacle driving. And what to keep in mind even though it seems obvious: The driving horse doesn’t carry but pulls- this has an effect on the gaits and the topline of the horse. Also, driving has just as much rich history as horse riding has. However, driving a horse instead of riding seems to keep the nostalgia of the past alive and offers a vintage vibe.
