About this video

Australian born Boyd Exell is one of the leading horse trials drivers in the world and was the 2008 winner of the FEI Driving World Cup. Boyd talks to Fiona Price at Windsor '09 at one of the obstacles on the marathon phase of the Grand Prix. We get an insight into the world of driving and what it takes to compete at the top, Boyd also talks us through some of the action. We then join his groom Lisa for a ride to the start of the endurance phase, while Boyd gathers last minute intelligence on the course. Lisa talks to us about the horses, their training, the driving scene, Boyd's carriage and her initiation into driving. Boyd finishes second overall after drama on the course!

Silver Snaffles 4 Jun 2009 Brilliant video!
sunrising-frog 28 May 2009 Fascinating video, I knew nothing about driving, and the groom's interview was a real eye-opener for me. Also, Fiona, when you said that you could really feel the power of the horses in front of you when they started trotting, it really made me wonder what it felt like... I hope I get the chance to give driving a go, someday!! Thank you, once again, for a great video!
x-DressageDiva--x 26 May 2009 I used to groom and backstep for a tandem - one horse in front of the other - I loved it!!! I have only ever groomed for a team once and that was Colin Allen - scary stuff!!
