Join the Tradition: Who Can Compete?
At AIAT GB, we believe in the preservation of driving skills for everyone. Anyone with a safe, traditional carriage is welcome to participate in our events. Our competitions are designed to be inclusive, welcoming all equines—from miniature ponies and donkeys to impressive teams of large horses.
Categories for Every Turnout
We offer a wide range of categories to ensure fair and spirited competition across all types of turnouts:
Equine Variety: Dedicated classes for donkeys, small ponies, horses, and heavy breeds.
Driving Configurations: Categories for singles, pairs, tandems, and multiples (including 4-in-hand).
Tailored Difficulty: Each category follows the same standard, with the only variation being the time allowance on the Routier (road drive), adjusted for the size and combination of your turnout.
