Dick then progressed to competing with a Pair of Welsh cobs at club and National Horse Driving Trials. In 1999 he drove a pair of Lippizaners, from Pippa Thomas’s four-in-hand Horse Team at the Lowther Horse Driving Trials where he finished 3rd. He then bought Pippa’s team of Lippizaner horses and started learning to drive four-in-hand.

Dick made his international debut in the Open Single Horse class at the 2000 International Driving Grand Prix at Royal Windsor Horse Show and then made his national Horse Teams debut in 2000. After a season off, Dick spent the 2001 winter training four grey Lippizaners ready to bid for selection for the 2002 World Four-in-Hand Championships.
