Junior Chariots Carriage Driving Club

Go to the News page for details of the upcoming indoor driving competitions.

Junior Chariots is a carriage-driving club, initially based at Chariots of Fire, Boreland, but with branches throughout the UK as we get more members.

The aims of the club are:

	To provide young people, aged 3 - 21 years old with opportunities to carriage-drive and to compete to the highest level
	To develop driving skills, horsemanship and sportsmanship
	To provide training sessions
	To develop a sense of teamwork and positive attitudes

Alice and Aura

The idea of a junior club is the Amanda’s brainchild, encouraged by parents of some of the Junior drivers at Chariots of Fire. For a number of years Amanda has been giving local children the opportunity to compete in carriage driving competitions, by providing ponies, carriages, training and transport to events.

Hazel & Tom Tom

Her success and enthusiasm has inspired these young people, and they in turn have become very competent drivers, successfully competing alongside adult drivers!

Junior Chariots is affiliated to the British Horse Driving Trials Association and closely associated to the Scottish Carriage Driving Association who have been invaluable supporters in the run up to the formation of the Club. The Club holds its own training sessions, competitions and hosts an annual British Young Drivers National event at Escrick in Yorkshire at the end of September. For event dates click here.

The well known country clothing firm, Puffa, have given the Junior Club some bodywarmers, gloves and scarves to promote their products and for the juniors to be able to wear at displays and other events. We are extremely grateful for the support and interest that Puffa have shown in the club.

Dumfries and Galloway Council has given Junior Chariots a grant to enable them to buy a trailer. The Club is very grateful to the Council for their support.
