Going the Distance: the Sport of Competitive Trail Driving by Linda Gasparini 

Even before I purchased my first horse--a Barb mare—when I was a young adult, I was drawn to explore deep into the far reaches of thickly wooded tracts.  So it was only natural that when my wanderlust was upgraded from long hikes to even longer carriage drives, it led me to a sport that embraced this constant quest to explore new trails.  The sport is distance driving or, more accurately, Competitive Trail Driving (CTD), and for those of us who just can’t seem to get enough time in the woods with our equine companions, it’s the perfect pursuit.

Tip of the Day!

~ Plan your ride carefully. Plan a ride time based on past ride times, weather, trail conditions and the state of conditioning of your horse. Ride to your plan, not to what other horses are doing!
