Driving Magic uses Team USA Harness with New Horse
Driving Magic, Inc. has had good fortune in the past year.
When Gary Grisham, the winner of the Team USA Camptown Harness raffle
found out they were in need, he came to the rescue. The harness was
donated to the Georgia based driving center. It was fitted for
Monkey, a 15.2 hh Belgian/Quarter horse cross that pulls a Thornlea carriage.
Now the center can continue to assist it's students, including the pictured
driver from Annandale Village, a residential village for adults with
developmental disabilities. While they provide services for approximately 50
Villagers, this was a new student from Annandale; you can tell she is just
loving it! Thank you to Gary Grisham for donating his prize harness, the
folks at Camptown Harness and Coblenz and Chupps Blacksmith Shop for fitting
Monkey's harness, and USDFD for hosting the raffle. For more information

Sybil Dukehart Memorial Scholarship Fund
US Driving for the Disabled is pleased to offer the
Sybil Dukehart Memorial Scholarship Fund. Sybil’s vision was to provide the
extraordinary benefit of driving to as many people as possible, through sharing
knowledge, innovation, and experience. Her goal was to provide help and
inspiration to programs offering carriage driving for people with disabilities
through the United States and Canada.
Sybil Dukehart Memorial Scholarship Fund Driver Application
Mentorship Program
In 2005 at the USDFD Annual Board of Trustees meeting, the board voted to inaugurate a Mentorship Program. Through this program, USDFD hopes to spread the joy of carriage driving far beyond our present reach.
Our driving world is a very small community. We pride ourselves in lending a hand to other drivers. We love for new people to join our driving clubs and get involved. USDFD would like to offer you an opportunity to get involved in a special driver’s life.
Almost weekly we are contacted by handicapped people from all over the United
States, expressing the desire to learn about driving a horse. Maybe they have
never seen a horse, maybe they have been a horse-person all their lives. Our
mission is to help them fulfill that dream. We are inviting you to be a part of
their aspirations.
Through the mentorship program, each USDFD driver will be set up with an
“able-bodied” mentor. Beginning drivers would first visit our National USDFD
headquarters where we assess their needs. We will establish what adaptations, if
any, are needed along with safety equipment. We will start the driver with an
able-bodied driver and discuss any physical restrictions with their care-giver.
This ensures their safety and well-being. Then the driver returns home with
there own equipment, to join up with their able-bodied mentor. If an already
active USDFD driver wants to take part in the mentorship program, they will
contact their USDFD regional representative or the National USDFD headquarters
to be connected with a mentor. The mentor’s mission is to assist the driver in a
safe, informative, and responsible way.
Ideally, the mentor partnership will allow the driver to continue their education locally. It will offer consistent driving opportunities in a dependable, safe environment.
Thank you for considering
becoming a part of the USDFD mentorship program. If you are interested in
becoming a mentor or know a disabled driver who would be interested in this
program, please click on the link below, print and fill out the form, and send
it into out National Office. We look forward to working with you in the
future!
