Dale

Dale is a friendly carriage driving instructor based in the beautiful Cotswolds, offering a relaxed and memorable experience for learners of all levels. Lessons are based on natural horsemanship, focusing on trust and clear communication with horses through body language and voice. It's a safe, respectful way to learn carriage driving that feels calm and enjoyable. The training is kept fun and accessible, from complete beginners to those wanting to build on existing skills, and you don't need any horse experience at all. Students often comment on Dale's patience, clear explanations and the calm, confidence-giving horses. Working from a base near "Royal" Tetbury on the Wiltshire and Gloucestershire border, Dale offers everything from two-hour taster sessions to multi-day courses and carriage driving holidays with nearby accommodation. It's easy to get to from Bristol, Bath, Swindon, Cheltenham and Gloucester, so it's ideal if you want a special day out in the countryside. Learners say the experience is fun, rewarding and a brilliant way to connect with nature and history in the Cotswold countryside. Dale's aim is to help people become skilled carriage drivers who respect their horses and drive with good manners on the road.
