In the space of three and a half decades, the Pittsford Carriage Association’s Walnut Hill Carriage Competition has grown from an informal marathon drive of 14 vehicles to a six-day, internationally recognized, driving “event” which is forced to turn away competitors each year. Association President, William Remley, is understandably proud to say that Walnut Hill is the largest show of its kind in the world.

A major driving event modeled after Walnut Hill is the Canadian Carriage Driving Classic, held each year north of Toronto. Besides the satisfaction of producing an immensely popular and superbly orchestrated show, Bill Remley has afforded himself the job of living out his romantic fantasies of a return to the statelier Victorian era for an entire week each year! This is certainly a major factor in attracting most driving enthusiasts to the sport and the essential ingredient in producing the Walnut Hill success story. The Walnut Hill Carriage Driving Competition will continue to innovate and prosper with the suggestions and support of its dedicated directors, members, exhibitors and spectators.
