Who are we?
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!
Our goals:
To promote interest in and knowledge of horse-drawn vehicles and the equines which pull them;
To organize pleasure drives and other activities relating to horse-drawn vehicles;
To assist members in gaining knowledge of driving techniques and skills and gain knowledge in good equine care and training methods;
To create, foster, promote and maintain cordial relations, cooperation, and exchange of ideas among all DDC members and the public.
