If you are a CAA member and received our e-newsletter in mid-September, you will have read about the Bowman family’s (then upcoming) coaching run in Ireland.

George Bowman, a legend in the world of competitive (FEI-style) driving, took a different tack from September 21 to 24. Bowman, his sons, and a team of horses and helpers drove the restored nineteenth-century Molly Malone Stagecoach from Limerick to Dublin, Ireland. Seats on the coach were sold to benefit a children’s charity.

To see the original advertisement for the trip, visit http://www.horsedrivingtrials.co.uk/news/2009_home/limerick_to_dublin.pdf.

The memorable journey was filmed by Tim Maloy and his crew at Cavewood Productions. They’re in the process now of completing a DVD record of the journey.

To see a rousing, music-filled preview of the DVD, visit http://vimeo.com/6849934. If combined driving is more your thing, be sure to check out the many other excellent CDE video clips there as well.

The Limerick-to-Dublin DVD is scheduled for release before Christmas. If you’re interested in buying it or any of CWP’s other titles, visit www.cavewoodproductions.co.uk.
