Sulky Sulky A sulky is a lightweight cart having two wheels and a seat for the driver only but usually without a body, generally pulled by horses or dogs, and is used for harness races. The term is also used for a light stroller, an arch mounted on wheels or crawler tracks, used in logging, or other types of vehicle having wheels and usually a seat for the driver, such as a plough, lister or cultivator. A sulky for horses is a lightweight two-wheeled, single-seat cart that is used as a form of rural transport in many parts of the world.
Horse harness will not allow the horse to work efficiently. Putting harness on a horse is called "harnessing" or "harnessing up". Attaching the harness to the load is called "putting to" (British Isles) or "hitching" (North America). The order of putting on harness components varies by discipline, but when a horse collar is used, it is usually put on first. Throughout the ancient world, the 'throat-and-girth' harness was used for harnessing horses that pulled carts; this greatly limited a horse's ability to exert itself as it was constantly choked at the neck.
