Who We Are

Miami Valley Carriage Association (MVCA) is made up of driving and carriage enthusiasts from all over mid-western Ohio.  We have a variety of members from those just beginning, all the way up to professional carriage company operators.  We hold monthly drives and all levels of experience are welcome to participate!

   Our Purpose and Focus

The club's focus is on education of anyone interested in driving equines -- from miniature to draft with vehicles ranging from 2-wheeled carts to large 30 passenger vehicles and single horse hitches to teams.  Members range in experience from "I have never been behind a horse to drive"  to members that have driven multiple team hitches.  Whether your interest is in driving horses, mules or donkeys (we now have driving sheep in the club!) or collecting carriages, there is a place for you in our club.

   Events

We have monthly drives, along with a pot-luck dinner, usually at a member's farm or boarding stable.  We also make use of horse-friendly parks, such as Twin Towers Park in Greene County and Carriage Hill Farm in Montgomery County.  Last spring we held a training clinic to help advance some of our less experienced members (or their horse).  Many of our members participate in parades throughout the year, such as the Delaware All Horse Parade and the Lebanon Christmas Carriage Parade.  We also have members who participate in the Carriage Roundup held at the Kentucky Horse Park each year.  We try to make an annual shopping trip to Holmes County, and we try to plan some other field trips to events or places of interest that have to do with carriages or driving.

   How to Join

Just come to a meeting!  If you'd like to be a member, a family membership is $20 and an individual membership is $10.  We distribute our monthly newsletter by email, so there is an additional $5 charge to cover mailing costs if you don't have an email account.  Contact any of our officers to find out the time and location of our next meeting.


Out for a drive on a Sunday afternoon . . .
