The showing of horses has a
timeless, historic flair to it at the Nashoba Carriage
Classic, held each September at the Germantown Charity
Horse Show grounds. The thirteenth annual, 2011 Classic will
be held October 28-30. It is a visit to another age
and place!
The Nashoba Carriage Classic combines elegance,
hospitality, skill and history in one exciting weekend.
Activities include competitions such as arena driving,
dressage, the Carriage
Dog class, and the Sunday morning Magnolia Marathon, a
fantastic reminder of times past.
The Arena Driving Trial on Friday night is thrilling to
watch as drivers race through cones and other obstacles
in timed events! Bring friends and family to witness
this exciting evening—they will not be disappointed!
In the Carriage Dog Class, judging is based on the
disposition and turnout of the dogs riding in the
carriages.
“Sunday is special because it is the day of the Magnolia
Marathon,” says Wanda Chancellor, past president of the
Nashoba Carriage Association. “This is a 6K marathon
through the woods. Drivers can forget they are in the
city limits as they enter the hardwood forest, pass the
pond, cross the creek, and enter the magnolia lined
driveway of a lovely southern home!”
The marathon is one of the highlights of the weekend,
and drivers enjoy the opportunity to experience a Sunday
country drive as it might have been 100 years ago.
Volunteers are placed in strategic locations throughout
the course, and they have almost as much fun as the
drivers themselves. It is an experience you won't want
to miss! So if you can't bring a horse but would love to
experience the world of carriage driving, come be a
volunteer for the marathon or our Arena Driving Trial.
Admission is free.
About the Nashoba Carriage Association:
The Nashoba Carriage Association was founded in 1997 by
a group of area horse enthusiasts who had begun driving
for pleasure but wanted to become competitive as well.
But not all its members have a horse.
“We have many members who are enjoying the club
activities and learning before they decide to take the
plunge into horse, vehicle, harness, and trailer,” says
Wanda. “But I tell them to watch out: I guarantee they
will get the carriage driving bug!!!”
