Clinics on Long reining and carriage driving every Thursday at Ladyleys Riding Club, Oldmeldrum

Do you have a venue you would like us to visit for clinics within the north east? Aberdeen Carriage driving would like to find venues throughout to encourage new drivers.

Boyd Exell

There will be regular clinics planned with Boyd Exell throughout the year. Boyd is currently the leading four in hand driver in the World and a very talented trainer. Anyone with an interest in having lessons with Boyd please get in touch. Boyd Exell
