Very Small Equines

Do you drive a pony 11hh or under? BC now has the perfect class for you. New guidelines are available here for Very Small Equines (VSE) to compete in outdoor driving trials. A short marathon but full dressage test and cones course, with the opportunity to qualify for the National Championships and the Points League. VSEs, if driven to a 2 wheeled vehicle, can have a groom in close attendance on foot throughout. See guidelines for more details. We look forward to seeing many of you outdoors in 2023.
