About Carriage Pleasure Driving

An Open Carriage Pleasure Driving competition is open to all breeds of horses and ponies. Classes may be offered in divisions based on the configuration of the turnout (i.e. Single, Pair, Tandem, Unicorn, and Four-in-Hand); the size of the animal (horse or pony); age or gender of the driver; or number of ribbons won by the horse or driver. Open Carriage Pleasure Driving classes may also be offered in conjunction with breedrestricted classes at a breed or multi-breed competition. The rules for these classes will be found in the Carriage Pleasure Driving section of the USEF Rule Book. The division will be unrated (‘N’) when these classes are offered as "open to all breeds."
