Carolina Carriage Club hosts eighth annual horse driving trial May 5-6

Published 12:04pm Friday, May 4, 2012

The Carolina Carriage Club’s annual Horse Driving Trial has moved from its traditional Memorial Day Weekend to Saturday and Sunday, May 5-6. Scheduling issues precipitated the date move and the move from FENCE to Wind Ridge Farm in nearby Mooresboro.
Event Secretary Carol Ann Burns recently announced there are 32 entries with one or two more expected – more than at closing of the entry in 2011 – despite the change of location and high fuel prices.
