Summer Fun Training Show – July 11, 12, & 13, 2025

Summer Fun Training Show

 The Fraser School of Driving has hosted an annual event for our students, since 2012.  This is similar to the Combined Driving Events (CDE), we call the Summer Fun Training Show. This event is designed to be a FUN and educational with an easy introduction to a CDE for you and your horse(s). Whether you want to practice before going on to the real thing, or never intend to compete and just want to have fun, this event may be for you. These photos were from the 2019 Fun Show. We welcome you to show or volunteer to help.

Go to our blog for more photos of previous years.
