The CDE (Combined Driving Event) is modeled after the Three Day Event, which tests the overall condition and versatility of the horse in sport. Major competitions are usually held over three days: day 1) Driven Dressage; day 2) Cross Country Marathon; day 3) Cones Driving Competition. Penalty points are incurred in each of the above phases and the winner is the entry who accumulates the fewest points. The first CDE in the USA was held in New Brunswick, NJ, in the early to mid 1970’s.  This year, GMHA offers a Combined Test (Dressage & Cones) in addition to the CDE.

• Thursday – Combined Test (Driven dressage followed by cones)
• Friday – CDE Dressage (CDE driven dressage in Upwey Arena)
• Saturday – CDE Marathon Day (CDE marathon day – equivalent to XC at a Horse Trials – drivers tackle obstacle combinations on the marathon course throughout the GMHA property)
• Sunday – CDE Cones (in the Upwey Arena)

Camping on-site is available for GMHA members.  All horses must be stabled.  See omnibus prize list for more details or contact the event secretary listed below.
