Hi All!
We hope you’re all basking in the afterglow of the fantastic August Orleton Farm Driving Show – what an incredible event it was! We enjoyed such a sense of camaraderie and joy from our driving community, and we couldn’t be more grateful for each and every one of you who participated as competitors and especially our volunteers. However, in the spirit of self-care and recovery, we’ve made the decision to cancel this month’s meeting. After all, we know how exhausting it can be to revel in such a splendid gathering!
We’ll definitely meet in September when we encourage you to share your favorite moments or highlights from the show. Let’s keep the momentum going as we look forward to how we can continue to make the show better and better each year!
Please check “Listing of Events” on this site for details on other upcoming events. The Society hosts a variety of events, such as driving clinics, informal drives, the Orleton Farm Pleasure Driving Show, Winter Classic Sleigh Rally, Lenox Tub Parade, and Summer Fun Day. Fun Day was created as an opportunity for recreational drivers, as well as seasoned whips, to experience games and friendly competition. 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 on January 15, 1989. Twenty-five years later, the club continues to grow and offer many exciting activities. Come to our events or join our club and enjoy the history and tradition of carriage driving.
