I drive. I compete and all in open and 4-H shows with my leased mini Teddy. =D He's freaking awesome. I'm starting to train a donkey to drive ( a mini one of course xD)
And to the above post it doesnt require that much patience, in my opinion. You just have to know the ropes and all.

Yeah it is really fun! i do combined driving which is like the 3 day event of driving. You do a dressage test, a marathon, and a cones course. I am a navigator though so i am on the back of the cart to balance the weight for the turns and on the marathon course i have the timers and papers for the course. Our cart horse is a norwegian fjord and she is amazing!

We did a demo at Celebrate the Horse in Puyallup here is the video.

Cool! We sometimes have obstacle and cone courses at the county Fair for the people in the Open Pony show with minis and stuff. It's funny because we dont do it for just competing we do it for laughs. xDDD
I would like to dry driving dressage one day...
