A harness horse is a type of horse specifically bred and trained for use in harness racing, a form of horse racing in which the horses race at a specific gait, usually a trot or pace, while pulling a two-wheeled cart called a sulky. The breeds most commonly used for this purpose include the Standardbred, French Trotter and Orlov Trotter.
