For a horseman, the smooth hypnotic rhythm of a horse trotting is Even in Aiken where horses were king, the use of powered equipment one of the most wonderful sounds in the world. to do things formerly reserved for horses had a huge effect on who could There is a huge difference in the way the world seems when you are own horses and what they would do with them.

You are in control, but from a distance, They trained them for racing and steeplechasing; they hunted, jumped, connected only by pieces of leather. It seems even more of a partnership played polo and they drove. It’s easy to imagine them having fun with than when you are mounted. their horses in and around Aiken. No day would have been complete Putting a horse to a vehicle can be done to accomplish almost without a drive around town or through the Hitchcock Woods. anything. Stagecoaches crisscrossed the western part of America, Coaches filled with people young and old, off to enjoy their friends, making settling it possible. Horses pulled plows, seed sowers and would have been a marvelous sight and sound. The rhythms of the day harvesters to help feed much of the world’s population for thousands were filled with the sounds of horses pulling carriages, wagons and of years. Canals around the world would have been nothing more than coaches. ditches filled with water if not for horses pulling barges along them. “The Hitchcock Woods is still one the best places to drive that there Civilization without the knowledge of how to train and use horses to is,” says Peggy Dils, who is the president of the Aiken Driving Club. perform work would look nothing like it does now. “Many of its miles of trails and paths are perfect for carriage driving. But When the automobile arrived on the scene in America in the early by no means are the Woods the only place to drive in and around Aiken. 1900s, the use of horses as a source of power waned..

Our members take part in events 80 The Aiken Horse February-March 2012 in town, like the carriage parades at the Aiken Trials and Aiken Steeplechase, as well as parades downtown and many other things. Right now our membership is as large as it has ever been, with over 200 people in the club.” Peggy says that membership in the Aiken Driving Club can be broken into three different groups. “About a third of our members are interested in pleasure driving. Another third don’t drive themselves, but are social members. And the other third are interested primarily in competitive driving. These three basic groups have a lot of members who cross over into the other groups also. We encourage anyone interested at all in carriage driving to join our club and participate in our events. Everyone is welcome, and we always need non-driving volunteers to help out.” Aiken and its surrounding areas are experiencing a surge in their population of competitive drivers. This year, Aiken had five drivers competing in the World Pony Driving Championships in Slovenia. The United States team, which included four Aiken-based drivers, came home with the bronze medal. Aiken is also the home of the Katydid Combined Driving Event, We’re always looking for new people to enjoy driving with us. If you don’t have a horse or have never been driving before, that’s fine. Contact us and we’ll get you out there having fun.” If you have ever thought about learning to drive or wondered what it was all about, you could not be living in a better place. There are groups of people who drive at every level, from national champions and international competitors to people who just like to watch and volunteer at the events in town. There is plenty of room for everyone If you already own a horse or horses and participate in another discipline, but are interested in driving, Aiken is a great place to get started. “You should start with a lesson,” is what you are going to hear from anyone you ask about teaching your horse to drive, and it’s good advice. Many features of basic horsemanship transfer easily from your skill set if you are already a rider. But driving is different in a lot of ways. There are things that are more important for a driving horse than for one that is ridden, things like being able to stand still and to respond to voice commands and aids, as opposed to leg aids. If you are wondering about the cost of all the things you will which is one of America’s premier driving events. Katydid draws need to teach your horse to drive, you might be pleasantly surprised.

  • Think Twice About Risks of Horse Rental Business by Robert C
    Think Twice About Risks of Horse Rental Business By Robert C. Church It is unrealistic to consider profit as an incentive for owning horses on a limited, part-time basis. Liability insurance makes it almost prohibitive for even full-time stables with professional help to operate. An element of risk for a horse-oriented busi- ness has never been established; therefore, the insurance rate is arbitrarily set. Volume of business and services such as indoor riding arenas, instruction and training, and professional supervision offered to their clientele keep the full-time stables profitable. Most rental stables cater to the novice rider who has had no formal instruction and thus is a considerable risk on a horse. A person who keeps horses for public hire must become familiar with the habits, disposition and traits of the horses. An owner who knows a particular horse is apt to be vicious may be held liable for injuries caused by that animal. The rental horse business is fraught with risk and should be entered into only after considering suitability of the horses involved, insurance costs, availability and safety of trails, and the expertise of those who will supervise riding. Some people use personal mounts for riding instruction.- In most cases a homeowner's policy will cover liability if this enterprise falls within the confines of a casual and not a full- time enterprise. However, many recently written policies do not include this type coverage. If you have the required skills, training horses on limited acreage as a part-time occupation can provide supplemental income.
