Poacher Harness Club

The Poacher Harness Club was originally started by a small group of friends as a private organisation in which they could participate in driving events, drives out and social events which had a distinctly "fun" ethos with less emphasis on competitive point scoring. Although the Club has now grown beyond the original members the atmosphere is still centred around having fun with horses and ponies in a carriage driving situation. We have proved to be a good "jumping off" point for complete novices who want to go further in the competitive world outside the scope of Poachers, but the essential core of long-term members still remain the backbone of the Club. These core members range in ability from complete novice to experienced, knowledgeable drivers and grooms who undertake their activities with zeal and pleasure.
