OUR PURPOSE:
- The purpose of the Club is to keep the art of driving horse drawn vehicles alive and relevant.
The way we are accomplishing that is to:
- Hold several annual Club sponsored drives for all types of vehicles; Carriages, Wagons,
- Buggies, and Carts. Pulled by all breeds of horses from Miniatures to Drafts and Mules.
- We hold our drives on various different private and public locations throughout Central California.
- Our members collect, restore and use Reproduction, Antique and Modern carriages in a manner that will keep the horse drawn vehicles form being lost to future generations.
- Connecting horse drawn minded people from many disciplines to share knowledge, experience and current availability of where to find what you need to keep you driving and collecting.
- Provide a social platform, such as pot luck lunches at our drives, for people with an interest in horse drawn vehicles to interact.
- Hold our Annual Banquet & Meeting where most of our members get together to interact and catch up on what we have all been doing over the year.
- We are a pleasure driving Club and as such do not hold competitive events.
