As you know, we really like to embrace all sorts of insanity in the middle here at Eventing Nation and we certainly appreciate Eventing’s sister sport, Combined Driving. The hallmark of Combined Driving is its marathon phase — akin to Eventing’s cross country — that has teams weaving their carriages in and out and around solid obstacles at high speeds so it’s no surprise to see an eventer attracted to the sport as well!

Five-star eventer Jolie Wentworth will once again be the navigator for Tracy Bowman and her Welsh Pony Albrecht’s Hoeve’s Lars, who will represent the U.S. at the FEI Para Driving World Championship for Singles in Le Pin au Haras, France this fall. This will be the second World Championship for this pair, who also represented the U.S. in 2018. We’re wishing this team the best of luck!
