Carriage driving consists of a driver who sits on a vehicle either drawn by a single horse, a pair or a team of four. In competition, the horse(s) and driver complete three tests: Dressage, Marathon and Obstacle Driving.

Dressage is a sequence of compulsory movements in an enclosed arena. Judges award the smoothness of the movements, the obedience of the horses, impulsion and correct positioning.
