🏆 Congratulations to our 2026 British Carriagedriving Single Horse National Champion, Phoebe Matthews!

With the National Championship title decided early ahead of this summer's World Championships, Phoebe delivered an impressive performance to take the crown at Chepstow.

A member of the British Young Drivers, Phoebe is one of the exciting talents coming through the sport and a great example of the future of carriage driving in Britain.

👏 Well done Phoebe and her team!

Firstly a huge thank you to the organisers of Chepstow & Cricklands Horse Driving Trials (National and International), for being so welcoming and looking after me, it really was appreciated x. As co-Official Photographer along with Sara Jane Hayes. I covered the Dressage, Cones and Marathon (Obstacles 3 and 4 more on that in a bit). Sara covered Obstacle 5 on the Marathon, and the Gateway. I primarily covered Obstacle 4 on the Marathon, which wasn't used by every class. So please look at Obstacle 3, as I tried to capture those not doing Obstacle 4, doing that Obstacle.

Okay onto the links to the photos.
