The Famous Grouse Event
Carriage driving is the fastest-growing side of the equestrian scene. Soon, it may well be rivalling eventing in popularity.
It is all there, elegant carriages from a bygone age and horses which normally carry trumpeters of the Household Cavalry. Simple, tough, practically home-built carts and Shetland ponies. Modern, steel-framed, custom-built carriages with disc-brakes, and handsome Hungarian horses, bred for suppleness and stamina. RAYMOND BROOKS-WARD describes the scene. JOHN STEVENS goes into the details.
