We Are Combined Driving
From Black Prong Equestrian Facility: We have made the difficult decision to cancel all Black Prong-produced carriage driving events for the 23-24 season. Black Prong has previously underwritten these events at a loss, in support of the sport, but now with the carriage driving community divided between two competing organizations (USEF and ADS), we don’t feel we can capture sufficient interest to make our continued sponsorship feasible. While we will not be organizing these events, we continue to be a carriage driving event venue, and encourage event organizers, associations, individuals, or clubs planning to produce or host a carriage driving event to contact us. Venue rental inquiries can be made directly to michele@blackprong.com.
Pro Show Services, LLC in conjunction with Grand Oaks Equine Resort has decided to move this event to Grand Oaks, The event will be held on its original date of March 21 - 24, 2024. Prize List will be coming out in the next few weeks.
