Night of the Horse 2008 - Combined Driving for Disabled

On Saturday April 19th at the 63rd Annual Del Mar National Horse Show in Del Mar, California we were entertained by the combined driving for the United States Driving for the Disable Team USA. The Combined Driving Event is modeled after the Three-Day Event, which tests the overall condition and versatility of teh horse in sport. England's Prince Phillip was a major force in the design of teh rules and is an active participant in the sport today. Major competitions are usually held over three days: Day 1, Drive Dressage; Day 2, Cross Country Marathon with up to eight special obstacles or hazards; Day 3, Cone Driving Competition which equates to the show jumping phase of the ridden event. Horses and ponies compete separately in the following categories: single, pairs, tandem, and teams of four.
