You could say carriage driving is in Taras’s blood. Her grandfather Dick Wilkinson initially taught Tara’s Dad, John, to drive, then her older brother Ross took the reins. Tara’s mother Leslee also drives and regularly competes.
Tara has been brought up with carriage driving and started at a very young age. She has had numerous wins, competing all over the world and was a world champion at the very young age of 15. What an achievement! This year alone she competed as part of the British Single Horse Carriage Driving Squad in France at the Le Pin au Haras event with her horses Cruze and Kadans. Tara will also be supporting our young drivers at the European championships in July at Flyinge in Sweden, as one of the trainers.
We are delighted to be able to offer this training up in the Aberdeenshire area and very excited to meet Tara and hear all about her recent travels. Team Wilkinson are very busy competing and training and we are very fortunate that Tara has managed to squeeze us in to her busy schedule.
Training sessions will consist of 45-minute individual slots at a cost of £55 per session. To book, please email trainingaberdeenshire@gmail.com No booking is confirmed until payment is received. Please note that no refunds will be issued in the event of cancellation unless the space can be filled by another driver.
