Every Thursday during school terms, I go to Carriage Driving at the Riding for the Disabled Centre. We cater for about 21 drivers, of varying abilities, and we are there from 6.30am until noon. Speaking for myself, I go home with a warm glow of pleasure and satisfaction. I have been trying to work out why and have come up with this list.
10 Reasons to love carriage driving:
• Mixing with horses
• Mixing with and catching up with my friends
• Fresh air, sunshine and the wildlife we see around
• Exercise, especially core strength building
• Wind in my face
• Exhilarating speed
• Teaching others to drive
• Seeing the looks on our drivers’ faces
• Morning tea at the canteen
• Going home with the perfume ‘eau de cheval’
