Mary Ann and Jeff Tock enjoy the National Drive held at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. Describing her carriage, Mary Ann comments, "My Bellcrown Minicrown is perfectly balanced, allowing my mini, Bear, to pull it effortlessly. It is the smoothest, most comfortable cart I have ever driven." Jeff says, "As a beginner I need to feel as secure and stationary in my cart as possible and the Bellcrown Aerocrown helps me tremendously." He drives his mini, Mr. Big, to his carriage.

Salute to Driving is a United States Equestrian Team Foundation Benefit to raise funds for the High Performance Driving Program. It helps cover expenses for World Championship drivers who qualify to compete internationally. Created three years ago by Lisa Singer and supported by her friends and the Aiken Driving Club, the three days of clinics, benefit dinner, and Combined Test were held at Windsor Trace, Windsor, SC on March 1-3, 2013. Janelle Marshall organized a Mini Bumblebee Quadrille as the lunchtime entertainment. Sharon Crawford-Mackay choreographed a modern version of "Flight of the Bumblebee." Drivers were Sue Doughtery, Pat Gilbert, Leslie Avey, Janelle Marshall, Jay Willis, Linda Willis, Kim Allen and Mary Sheehy. Ann Pringle of Driving Digest reports in the May/June issue, "Driving to 'The Flight of the Bumblebee,' a quadrille of miniature horses all decked out in black and yellow leg wraps with drivers in black and yellow shirts, buzzed around the arena while weaving in and out, going round in circles and crisscrossing all over the place. It was well worth the wait." (Photograph by Driving Digest - Drivers are Linda Willis and Kim Allen - Purchased from Driving Essentials, New Holland, Pennsylvania)

Perfect weather in Weatherford, Texas made a great day for Debra Curtsinger and her Miniature Pinto named Tally Ho to try out her Bellcrown Minicrown. Debra likes that her carriage is lightweight and very versatile making it ideal to use for combined driving events and pleasure driving. For a few years she showed in breed ring and then switched to combined driving, which she loves.
