Get Ready for the Show!

Entries Close July 10!

Hi Everyone,

Please save the date for our August Driving Show, which will take place from the 6th through the 9th. Get your entries in asap! Entries close July 10.

We are looking for volunteers and would love for you to give us a little bit of your time. It doesn't need to be a whole day; a half-day or just enough time to cover a class would be greatly appreciated. Let our Volunteer Coordinator, Joyce Northrup, know if you have availability: (516) 768-5444. We feed our volunteers well!

Sue Rogers is available on-site at Orleton Farm to give lessons to club members on July 12, 19, and 26. Please contact Diane Bozyczko for schedule and further details buzzdbc@roadrunner.com

Our next potluck meeting will be held on July 15 @ 6:30 pm.

Enjoy the long-awaited summer driving weather!

About Sue...

Susan Rogers has been driving ponies and horses since she was 9 years old, when she learned to drive in a Governess cart with a Shetland pony. After many years of pleasure driving, parades and small pleasure shows, Sue tried her hand at Combined Driving at GMHA in Vermont. It was a revelation and instant joy!

Sue has trained her own ponies and competed successfully at The Laurels, Garden State, Gladstone, Elk Creek, Myopia, GMHA, Bromont, and Becancour.

After an injury which prevented her from driving competitively, she decided to become a combined driving judge to stay “ in the game”.

Sue is now competing her own Welsh Cob/ Canadian pony and very much enjoys the judging aspect of combined driving as well.
