Chariots of Fire Carriage Driving Centre

If you are interested in competing particularly in carriage driving or dressage, Amanda Saville is keen to pass on her expertise and enthusiasm. Late in 1998 she acquired a Scottish farm near Lockerbie which she has transformed into a top class carriage driving centre, and the facilities Amanda can now offer are extensive.

The Driving Centre has stabling and grazing for over 40 horses and ponies, an indoor arena and outdoor menage; along with miles of wonderful driving out in the Scottish Borders to improve fitness. Clients can also take advantage of the excellent Bed and Breakfast accommodation in the farmhouse itself. The Centre specialises in competition preparation and schooling, both ridden and driven, novice to advanced. We use natural techniques to work with you and your horse and improve the communication between you to bring significantly better results. We can offer remedial work for both people and horses.

We love to bring young drivers into the sport and have been very successful in introducing kids from 3 years upwards into national competition. Click here to see some of the terrific results achieved in 2008!
We also specialise in bringing those with special needs, disabilities or disadvantage to driving. It is an activity where even those who are severely physically disabled can enjoy success in competition against their able bodied peers. It gives a terrific sense of freedom and builds confidence.
