Welcome
Special Events
Welcome to the Colonial Carriage and Driving Society’s web site. This site is intended to give up to date information about our club meetings and special events. The Society welcomes everyone to join the club, whether you drive carriage horses or just have a interest in the history and traditions of carriage driving.
Open meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month at 6:45 pm in Stockbridge, Mass. Some meetings feature an informational speaker as well as the normal business. Please check “Listing of Events” on this site for details.
The Society hosts a variety of events, such as driving clinics, informal drives, the Orleton Farm Pleasure Driving how, Winter Classic Sleigh Rally, Lenox Tub Parade, and Fun Day.
Fun Day is a practice event for combined driving that helps introduce newcomers to the sport in a low key manner. Fun Day usually has a potluck lunch and a wine and cheese party afterwards.
The members enjoy the social aspect the Society brings to each meeting and special event, where friends get together to have fun, drive their horses, and to learn more about carriage driving.
The Colonial Carriage and Driving Society was officially formed January 15, 1989. Twenty-two years later, the club continues to grow and offers many exciting activities. Come to our events or join our club and enjoy the history and tradition of carriage driving
