Horse Carriage Driving in the Northwest

Places to Drive in the Northwest

The ADS Northwest region is large, encompassing Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and Alaska as well as British Columbia, Alberta, Northwest Territory and Yukon Territory.

American Driving Society style horse carriage driving is a popular equestrian activity in the Northwest, pursued by an enthusiastic group of devotees to the sport. The American Driving Society recognizes several forms of competitive driving, including Combined Driving, Pleasure Driving, and Driven Dressage with an emphasis in the Northwest of Combined Driving.
