The sport of coaching returns to Newport this weekend with multiple opportunities to see the horse-drawn vehicles around town. Whips, or drivers, will lead their park drags and road coaches around the grounds of the Newport mansions and the area’s streets, allowing the public to see the highly trained horse teams and the antique coaches they pull. Those interested in learning more about the sport can watch a coaching skills demonstration and driving exhibition on the lawn of The Elms Saturday morning.
