It's a wrap! The Wheels at Wildwood 2026 Driving Trial is in the books; it was a great weekend filled with fun, laughter, time with good friends - new and old - and of course, exciting driving competition!

Drivers from all parts of BC, and from Alberta and Montana arrived on Wildwood Farm to find a manicured dressage field, a challenging ones course, and a beautiful, rolling marathon track. Friday's dressage competition provided a great warm up for the event the next day and also gave the President of the Jury, Mr. Hardy Zantke, the opportunity to lead a successful "Dressage on the Side" education session, sponsored by the Hoopes-Addis Education Fund.

Friday evening, the popular Tractor Trek social, hosted by Wildwood Farm was a hit, with competitors, officials and volunteers all enjoying appetizers and refreshments out on the course.

Our incredible team of volunteers ensured the competition ran smoothly, and our amazing sponsors provided a wide array of prizes for the winners.

In partnership with the Summer Days DT, held in Kevisville, AB, we also hosted the "Wild West Challenge". The best combined scores from Training, Preliminary and Intermediate at both events each won a super prize package valued at almost $800, sponsored by the Alberta Carriage Driving Association and Wildwood Farm.
