LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Hooves and Wheels Driving Club drill team will be performing at Californio Days’ Fiesta of the Horse.

The event takes place beginning at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, June 28, at Rancho de la Fuente, 2290 Soda Bay Road, south of Lakeport. Admission is free.

This is the driving club's third year of performing at the event.

This year they have 10 members of the club driving minis to small ponies. They have been practicing since April at Argonaut Farm in Lakeport and meet weekly practicing a routine created by Sally Green and Carol Thorn.

This year's theme in dress and music is paired with the theme of Californio Days.

Learning and practicing the drill they say is fun, great exercise for the ponies and teaches the drivers and their ponies many skills. 

The Hooves and Wheels Driving Club is a horse driving club here in Lake County that meets monthly, offering clinics and hosting drives and other events.

The members drive everything from draft horses down to miniature horses and their events are open all equestrians, ridden or driven.

Californio Days celebrates early California history and Agricultural Heritage with music, food, arts and crafts.
