A three-day carriage driving competition – part of a virtual international competition – was hosted by the South Burnett Equestrian Group at the Nanango Showgrounds at the weekend.<\/p>\n

The Nations Cup is a “stay-at-home” international competition where drivers compete locally at designated host venues.<\/p>\n

Their scores are then compiled on to a live international leaderboard.<\/p>\n

Nanango Showground’s main oval was divided into separate competition arenas to test the horses and their drivers in various classes and skills, including dressage and obstacles.<\/p>\n

Other legs of the competition have been held in Wales and Denmark with more events scheduled to be held this year in New Zealand, Western Australia and NSW.<\/p>\n
