Coach driving competition
Following the footsteps of the Lázár boys
The coach driving World Champions, the Lázár brothers or Gábor Szegedi World Champion introduce you to the rules. The order of departure is decided by a draw and then everyone goes around the course. (The guests are escorted over the course by the Lázár brothers, to see the course they will have to follow in the obstacle coach driving race.
The winner is the person who completes the course in the shortest time with the fewest mistakes.
An official commentator helps the spectators and drivers follow the event.
The obstacle course was built in adherence to the rules of the International Equestarian Federation (FEI), and the results are judged in accordance with international regulations. As a safety precaution, a groom sits on the back. In Domony Valley Zoltán Lázár, Vilmos Lázár and Gábor Szegedi are responsible for this task, thus guaranteeing a drive which is both safe and exciting.
The results are announced at the end of the competition.
The winner and runners-up receive the Lázár Equestrian Park awards and a personal certificate signed by the World Champions.
If anyone thinks it is child’s play to drive the two superbly trained and obedient horses, then they are sadly mistaken. In fact, only pair driving is permitted as it requires many years’ experience to master the art of four-hand horse coach driving.
Two years ago, just before the Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix, members of the BMW Williams team came to try their luck at a new sport. They finished the course, admittedly with the help of our grooms, but they were just as pale at the end as when scorching over the racecourse at 200kph. Their only comment, the bigger horse power is safer...
