WHO WE ARE AND OUR HISTORY
One July weekend in 1983, several friends got together for a
pleasure drive and an overnight camp out from Salisbury, to Furnace Town, near
Snow Hill, Maryland. As a result of that fun and fellowship, the Delmarva
Driving Club was established. From seven Charter Members the Club has now grown
immensely. We are now over a 100+ members with diverse interests and
backgrounds. Would you fit in? Why of course!
Some members are Combined Driving enthusiasts (CDE), some use
their equine friends in farm activities, some prefer pleasure drives in the
country, some are into 4-in-hand Coach and Tandem-driving, some have a
commercial interest. Some members are young...others are not. Some equines have
long ears, and others have little bitty ears that fit in your hand. Some are
green, and some are polished veterans, and some are famous with magazine covers!
Not all of our members are active drivers, some enjoy participating with
us, or are more interested in carriages and history, and simply enjoy the
driving community and its activities. We have members from as far afield as NJ,
PA and Virginia. We even have a member from Michigan! Most of our activities
tend to be in S. Delaware or Central E. Shore MD. Come join
us!

WHAT MOST MEMBERS WANT FROM THE DELMARVA DRIVING CLUB
It has been said that what most members want is to safely participate with like minded equestrians in driving related activies, enjoy their hobby of either driving or collecting carriages and horse drawn equipment. Thus, what the Board of Directors at DDC try to attempt to provide a variety of opportunities for all persons, all members and all levels. We can't offer exactly the same opportunties each year but at least every few years there will be clinics and talks on a variety of subjects and almost every month of the year, there is at least one DDC event schedule. We hope to see you at one of these events!
