LEW SMITH

Lew and Sandra Smith of Round Top, Texas show off the versatility of their three Friesians in ridden dressage, riding and driving pleasure shows, and their favorite event, Combined Driving. Combined driving is one of the toughest competitions for a horse. Patterned after eventing, it is a three phase competition usually lasting three days and consisting of dressage, a cross-country marathon over several miles which includes timed obstacles (called "hazards") and a cones course that tests the speed and accuracy of the driver and horses. All three of their Friesians ride and drive and both Sandra and Lew interchangeably serve as the "whip" (a carriage term for the driver) while Lew rides or serves as the "gator" (short for navigator) whose primary job is to balance the carriage during fast turns.

Lew will be driving a pair of geldings put to a modern marathon carriage which is used in the combined driving events. The carriage is built to withstand speed events and fast turns. Marianne Swim, also from Round Top, will be serving as the gator. Following American Society Driving Rules, Lew as the whip, must carry a whip, which is not used to punish the horse but rather to be used as a light aid, much like the leg of the rider. The Friesians shown as a pair are Isaac, a six year old gelding who is still learning his job and Apollo, an eight year old gelding who was the United States Champion colt for the German Keuring for the year 2000.
