Driving Program by Philippe Lienart
This is the most widely used program for scoring driving trials.

The software is available to download from www.horsedriving.be
Check this website regularly for updates. You can get the latest information at www.horsedriving.be/RSS/index.xml

The scoring software is free to download and all functions can be used, except for outputting the scores. To enable this, a licence has to be obtained from Philippe Lienart. To get a key code for one competition, go to the www.horsedriving.be website, then click on "driving program" and "ask for a code".

The software can be used freely to set up a competition and input all the parameters, course details and competitor information and to produce start lists for the dressage and marathon phases.

WARNING - this software is very complicated and needs an experienced operator/scorer. The instructions and help files are in French !

The Driving Program scoring software can be set up to send the results automatically to the BHDTA website during a competition. This enables "live" results to be published on the web.

The results are sent to a folder on the website called "results" which can be accessed at www.horsedrivingtrials.co.uk/results. For major competitions, a link will be set up from the front page to the results folder.

To set up the Scoring Program to send results, you must have an internet connection. At an event, this will normally be via a USB mobile dongle or via an internet-connected mobile phone. The dongle or phone must be connected to the scoring computer.
