Combined Driving at TerraNova FEI Combined Driving Event

Equine precision and speed take center stage during the international Combined Driving event at the TerraNova Equestrian Center in Myakka City. Modeled after the three-day eventing format used in ridden equestrian sports, this carriage driving competition tests the synergy between driver and horse across three distinct phases. Drivers navigate elegant carriages through the exact geometries of the dressage arena before launching into the adrenaline-fueled marathon phase, navigating tight hazards and water obstacles at high speeds. The weekend concludes with a tense cone-driving test designed to measure absolute accuracy. The event features multiple divisions, ranging from single-horse entries to the immense power of four-in-hand driving teams.
