The James River Driving Association encompasses Richmond & the surrounding areas of Virginia, and parts of Maryland, West Virginia, & North Carolina. Our first formal meeting was in 1984.
Our primary goal is to further the education of new & existing drivers. Most of our members are recreational drivers, but some are former or current competitors.
We encourage our members to share expertise & experiences, and to participate in a variety of activities, including clinics, pleasure drives, shows, & other learning opportunities.
Guests are always welcome! If you've never driven & are curious about this fast-growing equine discipline, please join us at any of our events. We love to introduce newcomers to our sport.
See our classifieds page for lesson opportunities, from beginners on up.
Spectators always welcome at JRDA sponsored events!
