The Great Western Harness Club

The Great Western Harness Club was formed in 1983 to promote both pleasure and competition carriage driving in the South West of England. It has a membership of around 100, covering a wide area extending from Penzance to Wiltshire.

We organise a variety of activities each year from pleasure drives and training days, to two day driving trials. The club seeks to be inclusive at all times, and everyone is encouraged to take part, whatever their driving ability. Even if you do not have a turnout, there is much to be gained by coming along on foot. Extra help with stewarding at events is always welcome, and gives a good opportunity to learn more about carriage driving.

Our continued aim is to provide a range of activities, spread across our region, and we are always seeking to increase the number and range of events. If you feel able to run an activity, the Club can help. Events are run under Club Rules, for Club members, or members of other Affiliated Driving clubs. Our events have to comply with current Health & Safety regulations.

There is an annual points championship and a �Groom of the Year� award, both of which are presented at the AGM, which is usually held in February.

UK Hackney Horse Society

The Hackney Horse Society promotes the Hackney breed throughout the world. The evolution of the Hackney horse into the high performance harness horse, ballerina of the show that we know today has been long and fascinating. The word 'Hackney' comes from the French "haquenee", a language commonly spoken in England in Medieval times. This describes a riding horse with a particularly comfortable trot or amble and over the years the term became synonymous with a general purpose ridden and driven animal whose stamina and soundness were greatly admired and whose favoured pace was the trot.
