What is Scurry Driving or correctly Double Harness Scurry Driving. The driving of a pair of ponies pulling a carriage around an arena usually at a County Show or Country Fair. The turnout has to negotiate a course of 12 gates, multiple obstacles or a slalom that is only 40 centimetres wider than the front axle of the carriage. Because of the twists and turns the carriage also has a groom to help balance it. Should the groom leans the wrong way, it could result in the carriage overturning. The events are fast, furious and great fun.
The fastest turnout around the course, without penalties wins the event.
We are keen to develop our sport and encourage others to take part as a driver, groom or Show Organisers.
Show Secretaries, if you are looking for a Main Ring attraction for your next show, why not contact us.

Scurry Driving Association Open Day
Sadly I was unable to be there, because all of the reports I have had and read, it was a fantastic day. Yes, it was cold,(well freezing), it was a little draughty but, the company was great and there was a lot of learning to be done. You will see from the early photos and videos that there were beginners driving trained ponies and there were experienced drivers with novice ponies. The important thing is everybody was enjoying themselves. Horse Heros were in attendance and videoed the proceedings. They will be displayed at a future time. Fiona the founder of the company has become interest in scurry driving and decided that she wanted to drive. Now she may be hooked.
