The Carriage Classic featured many classes of competition and show during the three-day event. Marcus Bolsinger showed off his carriage as well as his canine companion during one of many class competitions.

Olaf Edgar won third place in his competition, which included six total entries. Edgar was the sole male driver in his heat.

The Carriage Classic took over St. Feriole Island this past weekend. The event is one of the largest pleasure-driving competitions in the United States.

Kris Tempe, pictured with her driver, won first place in the large pony open. The field included six other competitors and featured various demonstrations of the drivers’ skills, the show of the carriages and the discipline of the horses. (Photos by Steve Van Kooten/Courier Press)
