This clinic is a USEF Emerging Driver clinic having received a grant from USEF for the development of future drivers in USEF events. We will have obstacles and cones available for all lessons who want to work toward future participation in Combined Driving Events.

Patricia Demers has participated in many equine activities throughout her career: commercial carriage driving, fox hunting, trail trials, ridden dressage, sport horse in hand, wagon trains, and has shown carriage driving horses for 28 years. She participates in the CAA’s Driver Proficiency Program, where she earned her Levels I, II, and III. She is also a recognized Level III instructor and  Evaluator.

She is comfortable teaching all levels of drivers and all sizes of horses. Minis to drafts are all very welcome

She has exhibited her horsemanship mastery by very successfully driving the supreme carriage animal, the vivacious Hackney Horse Carpe Diem’s Ad Astra in carriage driving and other events.
