Patricia: As a follow-on to my agreement with Robert’s answer, but more on a point of clarification and a little more technical. Harness racing: sport of driving at speed a Standardbred (q.v.) horse pulling a light two-wheeled vehicle called a sulky. Harness racing horses are of two kinds, differentiated by gait: (1) the pacing horse, or pacer, moves both legs on one side of its body at the same time; (2) the trotting horse, or trotter, strides with its left front and right rear leg moving forward simultaneously, then right front and left rear leg (on the diagonal).

Refers to the type of horses (standard bred) rather than to a type of race.

Thank you, Juan.
neutral Juan Jacob : Ups, no vi tu respuesta, que es correcta. Sin embargo, es un tipo de carrera, no de caballo. Insistimos, es un tipo de carrera, no de caballo, aunque son diferentes, claro. Saludos.

Thank you, Marina.
agree Taña Dalglish : Yep! but.. harness racing is a form of horse-racing (vs. the type of horse - yes standardbreds!) in which the horses race in a specified gait. They usually pull two-wheeled carts called sulkies. The term "trotters" is also used. Saludos Robert.
