Tijn had smiled as he'd seen that there would be a driving competition along with all of the normal show things. Sure, it'd been ages, and it was only cones. But it was something!
The geldings were turned out in harnesses that gleamed, and the cart didn't look too shabby - There was only so much Tijn could do about that. He let the geldings trot over to the arena where cones had been set up, and smiled at the steward, "Martijn van der Berg, with Ritske VDB and Sybren VDB." He gestured to each horse as he said their name.
After he'd gotten the go-ahead, he and the team cantered into the arena. Tijn had walked the course earlier, and had tried to decide on the best places to turn. He did have the geldings trot for a few hairier corners, especially from the sixth set to the seventh, but he'd decided to have a good run, even if it wasn't the best.
Finally, they rounded the shed and were through their last set of cones. Tijn had the pair slow again and smiled, nodding at the steward as they exited the arena.
