Combined driving (also known as
horse driving trials) is an equestrian sport involving
carriage driving. In this discipline, the driver sits on a vehicle drawn by a single horse, a pair or a team of four. The sport has three phases: dressage, cross-country marathon and obstacle cone driving, and is most similar to the mounted equestrian sport of
eventing. It is one of the ten international equestrian
sport horse disciplines recognized by the
Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI); combined driving became an FEI discipline in 1970.
