   I have driven single for about 8 years and shown in local pleasure shows. 
I have also hitched and driven a pair a dozen or so times, using my mare and a 
friends mare
so I do have a little experience. As for contacting the local driving 
society, not one of the members drives pairs only single. The local carriage 
club 
drives teams but they are mainly draft horses pulling farm wagons and that is 
not 
the type of driving I am looking to do. I have not had a pair of my own to 
drive before so I am excited, I thought I would have a pair a few years ago but 
I lost a mare in labor, saved the colt by c-section, and so lost the other 
half of my pair. Well, that colt is now 2 1/2 and I have started him driving 
single. As soon as my harness comes we will be in business.
I can hardly wait.
