Since 2016, Driving Valkenswaard International (DVI) yearly attracts the world’s best carriage drivers to compete against each other in Valkenswaard. During DVI, they battle it out for individual placing’s in the Horse Pairs and Horse Teams classes as well as in teams for the Nations Cup Horse Teams.
The competitions are held at the homestead site of Boyd and Preetha Exell (Exell Equestrian).
2021 is an important year for Pair and Four-in-Hand Driving. Both FEI Driving European Championship Four-in-hand Budapest 2021 (HUN) and the FEI World Pair Driving Championships Kronenberg 2021 (NED) are held within weeks after DVI, making DVI a most important event in preparation for the European Championship and Pairs World Championship competition. Both FEI Championships are held in the first half of September.
The 2021 edition of DVI will be a great opportunity to showcase your business if the regulations allow for an open to the public event.
