For posh passtimes carriage driving comes fairly well up the list. The missus decided this would be something to do. So she invested in a carriage and a second pony to compete in the pony tandem class. We had a clapped out Vauxhall Victor estate to tow a very second hand horsebox. On every trip at least a spare gallon of oil was required to cope with the various leaks.
She always had a points disadvantage as we only had one set of harness for the cross country and cone driving with no posh harness for the presentation phase of the competition(now defunct). She still manged to win regularly at national level.
We always arrived late and ended up pitching tents in the dark.
On one memorable occasion after pitching in the dark we found ourselves parked at the posh end of things having manged to find a gap between Prince Phillips entourage and Alan Bristow's (Bristow Helicopters).
Always competitive if poverty stricken. Nowadays she has moved on to a Cessna 150, still doing it on the cheap with a single Navcom and a transponder with me still fixing everything.
Plus ca change!!!
