Hi Everyone Glad you all seem to be enjoying this new board. Just wondering if I can recruit you all to spread the word and get as many of your driving friends to join in our new board. The more members the better. So any ideas how we can promote this site and let other drivers know about it please let us know. I especially want the board to have a good mix of Private Driving, HDT, Pleasure Driving etc. I don't want it dominated by only one discipline. I would like all areas of driving to mix here. There can be a very large divide between the private driving world and HDT drivers and the general pleasure drivers and this is somewhere we can all talk about what we have in common ! Our love of driving !

I wonder if it's possible to get links to here from other sites like some of the driving club ones, or breed ones like Hackneys and similar where the breed is used for driving a lot.

I think jazz has a great idea about trying to link also to breeds that encourage the driving. In the US I know Standardbreds and Saddlebreds are heavily used for driving, along with all the heavy teams (drafties) and mules. Are you looking to focus primarily on the hitches alone? Or possibly the weight pulling/ farm using types of competition hitches as well? Also, do you want the forum to stay focused on carriage driving in the UK only? Or would you like to branch a little to people interested in the sport in the US? Like I said before, I'm totally new to driving but could certainly put out the word.

I found the forum from a link someone had posted on the horse and hound forum. Well done that person. One day I will learn how to do links... and pictures... and smileys...

I am Administrator on two horsey - well, one horse, one donkey - forum boards. Both have some driving people, so I will put links on them for you.

Thanks ! That would be great, the more we can get word of this board out and around the better. Would be good if we could get a link from the BDS site.
