| The sport of carriage driving is structured to welcome drivers and
horses of all abilities. Driving is especially inviting at the entry
level, as the basic skills are fairly simple to understand and are
readily acquired. The carriage horse performs in several venues --
speeding through the hazards of a combined driving event, performing a
precise dressage test or demonstrating elegance in a working pleasure
driving class. The camaraderie and helpful attitude among carriage
driving enthusiasts is frequently noted by those new to the sport,
which helps set it apart from other equine competitions. Carriage
driving is one of the fastest growing equine sports, and is well suited
to "baby-boomer" couples who want to get into horses.
Jeff enjoys working with beginning drivers as well as the more
experienced drivers that wish to hone their skills for competition.Come
bring your horse or audit the day's lessons. Lessons are $55 each or
two days for $100. Auditing is free. We also host a
potluck supper on Saturday night for food, fun and camaraderie. Absolute
Morgans is located on Schoolhouse Road, just off of Green Street, three
miles south of Vergennes, VT. The farm is 17 miles from the Crown Point Ferry to New York and eight miles north of Middlebury. There is an
indoor arena, outdoor ring and fields for schooling, ample parking and
limited stabling at $10 per day is available for visiting horses.
For more information and to schedule a lesson, please contact Janet Yager at (802) 545-2457 or morgans@madriver.com.
