Sports Driving Unlimited
Driving ponies, harnessing potential
Sports Driving Unlimited is a registered charity (Registered Scottish Charity No: SC038870) started in 2007 by a small group of enthusiastic volunteers who are keen for people with an impairment to enjoy the fun, excitement and health benefits of taking part in sports carriage driving.
We blend the exhilaration, excitement and adrenalin-rush of sports carriage driving with the expertise of developing individual confidence, motivation and achievement.

Our Story
Our present trustees have a wide range of skills and interests but all are eager to make sure as many as possible can take part in this remarkable sport. They agreed to use the operating name ‘Sports Driving Unlimited’ to put into words our belief that anyone with a physical or mental impairment can take part in sports carriage driving and benefit from therapeutic contact with ponies.
We fund lessons and group activities at Chariots of Fire Equestrian Centre, near Lockerbie and at other venues in southern Scotland and Cumbria. Our professional coaches are all skilled carriage drivers who compete and win at national and regional carriage driving competitions. They are vetted under the protection of vulnerable people regulations.
If you'd like to know more about what we do, then please do get in touch.
