World
Driving Championship

The
FEI World Pairs Driving Championship will be held in Haras de
Jardy, France, September 17 – 21. The event will showcase
some of the world’s best horses and drivers.
Teams
will compete in a three phase competition: driving dressage, a
sequence of movements performed within a rectangular arena measuring
100 meters x 40 meters; marathon driving competition, a series
of fixed cross country obstacles; and the cones phase in which
the driver must pass through a course of gates, pairs of starting
blocks with balls on top, without knocking anything over on the
way.
