Type of Event: Fun day with sleighs. Since sleighing involves antiques, many with interesting stories attached to them, we wish for you to write something about your turnout for publication. We will begin with the Reinsmanship class at 11AM. Immediately following, will be the Currier and Ives class. The cones course will be open and you may do that at any time. Patterns for reinsmanship and cones class will be emailed as entries are received. Sheila Alexander has graciously offered to judge the Currier & Ives class Liz Happel the cones and reinsmanship course judge tba.

There will be a marked trail around the farm that you may explore at any time. There is a commercial team giving sled rides this year and we will share the trail with them. They are to begin at 12p.m.

NO Cantering at any time on the grounds.

Due to the cold we are not prolonging the activities. Sheila will pin the Currier and Ives class. The remaining ribbons will be passed out at the end of the event.

Parking: Will be in the parking lot between the Blacksmith Shop and the museum.

Classes: Horse (above 14.2h)
Pony (under 14.2h)
Turnout: Single, Pairs, Multiples
Fees: There is no entry fee. Donations to Skyline Farm will be greatly appreciated.

Food and Beverages: Skyline volunteers will have food on sale starting at 12:00 p.m. for as long as the food lasts. Bring water for your horse.

Health Requirements: Rabies and neg coggins.
Please send your entry form and immunization information to Paula by 2/2/23. If we need to cancel we will have contact information for you. In addition an email will be sent and Skyline will post on their FB page. A winter event is a challenge to say the least. We are hoping for safe traveling conditions, safe footing for the horses and SNOW!

A Glimpse into the Maine Driving Club

The mission of the Maine Driving Club is to encourage and promote the sport of equine driving. We offer training, education, and information to our members in the various phases of pleasure and competitive driving, as well as pleasure horse ownership. We provide a forum for people interested in the sport of driving in the State of Maine to come together for social activities and to share ideas and information.

The MDC welcomes all who have an interest in carriages or driving, regardless of age, skill level or the type of driving you do. Beginner drivers and those who would just like to "ride along" are also encouraged to join us!
