Mid Winter Driving Conference

The Saratoga Driving Association is delighted to invite all horse enthusiasts to join us near Albany, NY for a quiet day of learning and fun with the experts.
We had a great time at last year’s Conference. Being together, sharing stories, raffling goods and making plans. Let’s do it again!
We have great speakers—a new, even better venue and maybe this is our last year, or maybe not…
