Fine harness is a type of driving competition seen at horse shows, that features showy horses with high action. [1] It is the driving equivalent to the ridden park horse style and is sometimes called park harness. [2] Breeds that compete in this style include American Saddlebred, Morgan, Arabian, Dutch Harness Horse, Hackney horse, Hackney pony, Welsh, and American Shetland. [3]
The harness used is a light, breastplate type without a horse collar. In this type of design, the horse rides forward against the breastplate, while still retaining a crupper. [4] The cart used is generally a light, four-wheeled design. Drivers wear formal attire.
