- What is an Arena Driving
Trial?
-
An ADT is like a Combined Driving Event (CDE) except that
there is no distance portion and all three activities (dressage,
cones, hazards) take place in an arena. Additionally, the event is
always in "marathon dress" and the same carriage may be used
throughout the event. This event is great for VSEs (minis), ponies,
horses, and multiples. This is a great way to “test drive” and
practice for a CDE, and lots of fun for both beginners and experienced
folks. The goal here is to have a great time and learn with your
equine. American
Driving Society (ADS) rules as of January 2009 will be followed,
with exceptions noted.

Cones will immediately follow your

serpentine, and will include either an "L" or a "U."
Cones will be scored as FAULT as in CDEs, with an allowed time. Cones clearances are:

order. Drivers
will then take a brief break while others in their class complete the
hazards. Then drivers will drive the same two hazards (now indicated as
Hazards 3 and 4) in alphabetical gate order. Navigators can navigate for different drivers, and drivers can swap and
become a navigator for someone else. Hardhats/safety helmets are
