Beginner's Driving Clinic
April 18 & 19, 2026
Shelburne Farms
The 2026 Clinic is full!!
We will start checking in at 8 am on Saturday April 18
There will be light breakfast and plenty of coffee and tea.
Clinic will start at 9 am with a discussion about the farm grounds, and safety around horses and driving
We will break up into groups and each group will be joined by a teamster. You will work with this teamster throughout the morning. However if for ANY reason you would rather work with another teamster please let me know and we can make that happen
Lunch will happen at 12:00 pm. If you have friends or family on the trip with you that are not participating they are welcome to join us for meals. We do ask for a donation to cover the cost of their food.
The afternoon will be spent with either your given teamster, or if you would like to try someone new that is fine. We should be ground driving, and hooking up to a cart or wagon by late afternoon.
The day will end at 4:00 pm
Sunday we will start at 9:30 am. There will be a breakfast served starting at 8:30 am.
Sunday will be spent driving around the breeding barn and going for the long ride around the property.
Lunch will be served at 1:00 pm
Depending on the weather we will decide the best time to drive around the property. This drive takes about 2 hours and is worth every bit of it.
We will end the clinic at 3:00 pm on Sunday.
Keep in mind it will be cold in the mornings and the barn will be colder than the outside. Dress in layers, wear closed toed shoes, and hats and gloves are recommended.
If you have not already shared your dietary restrictions please get them to me. We are already planning Gluten Free, Vegan, and Tree Nut Free options. Our food served is mostly local and homemade.
Can't wait to see you all in a few weeks.
