May is National Carriage & Driving Month

May is National Carriage & Driving Month

Mar 29 - The Carriage Association of America (CAA) is pleased to announce the first National Carriage & Driving Month, to be celebrated throughout the month of May.

To celebrate our horse-drawn heritage, the CAA encourages driving clubs, museums, and historic sites throughout the United States to plan special programs and events during the month of May. These events can explore and bring to light our shared history while also promoting current interests in restoring, collecting, and driving horse-drawn vehicles.

The CAA’s president, Harvey Waller, said, “This is an effort to bring national attention to horse-drawn carriages and carriage driving.” He continued, “To promote the event to our members and to the general public, the CAA plans to prepare and distribute press releases to national media, in order to remind the public of how horses and carriages helped settle and build the U.S. and how they contributed to our culture. We will also encourage CAA chapters and other driving clubs to prepare press releases that pertain to carriage driving and carriage history in their local areas.”

The Carriage Association of America was founded in 1960 and is the oldest and largest international organization devoted to the preservation and restoration of horse-drawn carriages and sleighs. The CAA has more than 3,000 members in all 50 states and in 40 other countries.
