Each of the classes in this evening’s session at the CAA Carriage Classic featured gorgeous turnouts and, because it was evening, lamps were lit.

After a successful showing, the winner of the evening’s first class (Single Horse Turnout), P.J. Crowley, rushed back to the barn …

Tom Burgess and his pair of Friesians won the Park Division Evening Turnout class. That’s his very proud mother-in-law seated beside him.

The final two classes for the evening were Coaching Turnout and Coaching Timed Obstacles. Marilyn Macfarlane’s Park Drag was the only entry in the coaching division, but she put on a beautiful show for the very appreciative crowd. I’ll have more later (in a separate post) on this particular entry. But as a bit of a teaser … Have you ever seen a coach driven through a cones course? It’s quite a sight!
