A Driving Trial consists of three phases: Dressage, Obstacle, Cones and a one-section Marathon (Section E). Longview Horse Park is an ideal location for such an event.

Dressage and Cones will take place near the barns and show arena. The Marathon will wind through the hills, woods and fields of the more than 500 acres of historic Longview Farm.

This year’s event offers Training and Preliminary Levels.

There’ll be a dinner and Silent Auction on Saturday night open to competitors and spectators alike.

In2007, she and her Morgan, Cooper, were members of the US Team at the World Pony Championships, contributing to the team’s bronzemedal winning performance and placing second in Dressage with one of only two scores in the 30s. Shelly competed at FEI level in ridden dressage, is an ADS and USEF ‘R’ Judge in Combined Driving, and is an active competitor, instructor, trainer and clinician.  She serves on the ADS Licensed Officials and Dressage Committees, and on the USEF Driving Technical Committee.
