MDC Derbies

Driving Derby

Picture

What is a derby?

A driving derby is a timed event, which can be best described as a hybrid between a marathon course and a cones course. It consists of one or more rounds over a course consisting of six to sixteen pairs of cones-type compulsory gates and two to four marathon-type obstacles. The score is determined by times, plus penalty scores for multiple rounds are added on to that score. Total time determines placings and the lowest time wins.

Our club offers three levels: Training, preliminary, and open. Training Level permits trot only, whereas the preliminary and open divisions allow canter. Obstacles are numbered, with red numbers on the driver’s right.

We encourage people from all skill levels to come and try out our derbies. We want everyone to have fun. So, either come with your competitive side, or come and enjoy a relaxed schooling day. Our courses aim to be challenging, but doable. So come join the fun!

More information can be found in the ADS (American Driving Society) rulebook under section CD-C Driving Derbies, page CD-83.
