Seven Pleasure Driving Classes:
Turnout; A Pleasure Driving class in which entries are judged primarily on the performance and
quality of each turnout.
Working; A Pleasure Driving class in which entries are judged primarily on the suitability of the
horse to provide a pleasant drive.
Reinsmanship; A Pleasure Driving class in which entries are judged primarily on the ability and skill of the driver.
Town and Country; : Obstacles are set at 2.0m for all competitors. At least 30% of the obstacles must not be a pair of cones, but instead an obstacle that could be encountered while out driving through town or country; i.e., mailbox and cones, trash barrel and cone, flagpole and a cone, fence section and cone, bridge, poles set like guardrails, wood piles, artificial animals (these should be set at a distance from a pair of cones to avoid frightening animals).
Your Route/My Route; Your route: After passing through the start markers, the driver drives through all 10
obstacles in the correct sequence and direction. My route: After completing the #10 obstacle, the competitor will continue, without passing through the Start/Finish markers by driving all obstacles a second time in any sequence and in either direction. Time will be taken when passing through the Finish markers in either direction.
Carriage Dog; Judged primarily on suitability of the dog to serve as a companion (maximum one dog per
vehicle). To be judged both ways in the arena at a walk, slow trot and working trot.
