driving course for mature newbies

I am lucky enough to be stabled on a driving yard (even though I ride and don’t drive). The website is below

Not only have they recently held a crinkly camp but they have been given a bursary to get more mature people back into sport by introducing them to driving. If you go and click on the back to sport logo it tells you more

The first group had a fab time and really made some good friends, I would receommend the course as I have never heard so much laughter coming from the club house. It proved to them that carriage driving truly is for everyone and they even made it to the local magazine

I was lucky enough to have a driving lesson with Wally although I think the pony was definitely in charge of me rather than the other way round!!

All the drivers that come and stay at our yard are lovely, they are cheerful and friendly and will happily answer questions. A lot are already mature and many couples, parents and kids or friends pair up to compete together with one driving and one as backstep.

I just thought I would post in case its of interest to anyone
