[RC] Competitive Trail Driving - cartfallI used to ride distance in the 80s and 90s. CTR and endurance. I quit riding about 7 years ago when my knees began to fail (old motorcycle accident=arthritis). I had always played around with driving and took to driving full time. All of my endurance bred Arabians drive. One mare has gone on to do CDEs (that is 3 day eventing in a carriage) quite successfully. I have recently taken to trail driving again for fun. It has brought back all my great memories of hours in the saddle training and competiting in the forests. I miss it greatly. That lead to memories of drivers at CTRs in the early 90s here in Central Florida. So I started on a quest to re-introduce driving back in to CTRs. I have much positive response from interested drivers, ride managers, and both governing organizations in the state. I am certain there will be driving division offered in the CTRs in this state next fall. Comes my question--I have had a number of drivers of minatures horses and small ponies. There are no rules in place for this size equine here in Florida. I doubt their ability to do 25 miles on a good solid trail much less the sand we drive in. Have any of you ever seen a ride where equines of this size competed? Was the course the same or of a lesser distance for them? Thanks for your time in advance.
