Over the years, the CAA built up a very extensive video library of tapes on driving, training, carriages, horses, and related events for your entertainment. We rented the tapes out to CAA members for viewing on a regular basis. Of course (like a lot of things), times changed and we all moved on from VHS! We still have a physical collection of DVDs and VHS tapes available for rent or purchase but we now offer a variety of videos available for streaming via the CAA Film Club. Topics:
- Carriage Driving Equines
- Carriage Collections
- Getting Started in Carriage Driving
- Carriage and Harness Care
- Combined Driving
