Carriage driving is described as an old sport in a modern form. It is also a team effort, as a team always consists of at least one horse or pony, a driver, and a groom, or carriage attendant. There can also be two or even four horses.
Horse-and-carriage competitions consist of three events—dressage, marathon, and precision—each of which requires different types of qualities and skills. At the Helsinki Horse Show, the teams will compete in a knockout-style competition—a head-to-head time trial.
