Driving
Four in hand
One of the most impressive equestrian disciplines and rapidly increasing in popularity is the four in hand driving. Breda as an event is internationally known for over 25 years. Last year the international drivers selected Breda Hippique as one of the five best events in the world.
The competitors will perform the dressage on Friday, the marathon on Saturday and the obstacle concourse on Sunday. As an official CAIO Breda will present a Nations Cup and the event is a qualifier for the indoor World Cup season. They re expected to start around 30 four in hand horses and 16 pony teams.
