Osborne Refrigerators Ltd
are one of the leading sponsors in equestrian sport and active
participants in several equine disciplines. Having been longterm
sponsors of (and competitors in) double harness scurry driving, the Osborne Scurry Group was
set up with a group of like minded competitors, as the UK's premier
scurry driving organisation, with the aim of putting on
the best and most entertaining scurry
driving competition. (The OSG is not affiliated in any way to the SDA). |

| What Is Scurry Driving? | |||
| First, lay out a series of coned "gates" including a slalom, a nice tight, three sided "box" and some good, fast corners. Take two ponies, harness them to a lightweight racing carriage, then insert a driver with a need for speed and a groom on the back with nerves of steel and the balance of a cat. Set them against a clock and watch them fly! | |||

| Where & When Can You Watch? | |||
| Competitions run from May to September, taking in shows up and down the country (click here for show dates). The finale takes place at the prestigious Horse Of The Year Show, which in 2011 featured on Sky Sports in 3D! It's fast and furious so come along and cheer us on. Osborne Scurry Group - for the best in scurry driving. | |||

| Is It A Bit Risky? | |||
| All equine sports have a degree of danger. Scurry driving has just enough to make it thrilling to watch, without risking serious injury to ponies or competitors. |
