#7 — THE MAGNOLIA DRIVE!

What better way to finish a great weekend of driving? The Magnolia Drive is the final class of the Nashoba Carriage Classic and a chance to leave the show ring behind and enjoy a relaxing drive along the beautiful trails surrounding the Germantown Charity Horse Show Grounds.

Enjoy the scenery, your horse or pony, and the company of fellow drivers as you wind down a fun weekend at Nashoba.

#8 — TRY SOMETHING NEW!

Ready to venture beyond the pleasure ring? Give the Driving Derby a try! Our Derby combines cones, obstacles, speed and accuracy in the safety of a large arena—a great opportunity to school obstacles and try something more adventurous in a controlled environment.

Newer to showing? Our Novice Driver class, introduced last year, is for drivers who haven’t won first place at three separate ADS shows. It’s a great way to get into the ring and gain experience.

Try something new at Nashoba—you might just love it!
