A legacy of carriage-driving excellence
Welcome. I am Rowena and my passion is carriage driving.
I run South Wales Carriage Driving Centre which I have established for over 45years as an internationally recognised training centre. As a small business, with the assistance of my partner Peter Edwards, we give a very personal service to all our customers.
We also provide a bespoke horse drawn funeral service.
Training horses and ponies for carriage driving, having produced many different combinations to prize winning standards in the show ring and in Horse Driving Trials.
Teaching beginner drivers, all the way, to mentoring medal-winning International competitors around the world.
My mission is to bring carriage driving to as many people as possible in honour of the legacy left to us by Prince Phillip. It was great to know him as a fellow competitor and speak to him on many occasions.
