We are a small group of driving enthusiasts who are interested in getting together at least once monthly at various locations to drive and share with our passion.

Our goal is to make all of our gatherings as inexpensive as possible, yet to be able to walk away after having a fun day and learning something new. We will be open to driving at any and all locations that are available. This will be great experience for all of our horses.

We are not limiting the size of animal (ie: mini’s only) so come one and all. This will allow our horses and ponies to be able to see other traps. We would like to see all sizes and types of horse/pony combo’s whether you drive for show, pleasure, CDE, etc.

We will be kicking off this informal group with a seminar on basics. I feel that no matter how experienced any of us are (or not) that we can always learn something new). We are very pleased to announce that our trainer Matthew Cook has agreed to come down to do the very first seminar. Matthew is a very accomplished young man with a successful career in the show ring. If you would like you can see more information about him on his website www,ragincajunacres.com. Afterwards we will be able to drive the area at will and possibly discuss the next month’s gathering.

We look forward to meeting several of you there. If you have any questions and/or suggestions please feel free to call or email Michelle at 210-473-3035 mpatton1279@yahoo.com or Joy at 210-649-3759 joyprince@netzero.net.
If any question about weather please call before you haul
