Brief History of Harness Racing

edit

The history of Harness Racing has its roots in the horse racing that began in the 20th century with regular horses, the race also known as trotting. It flourished simultaneously in North America, Russia, France, The Netherlands, Italy and Norway. The sport made its debut with average local breeds, which were working horses. It is said that North America was the mother of Harness Racing.[1]

It is believed that harness racing that kicked off on a full scale onwards of 1806 in America, gradually developed from locally organized races between the working class farmers with ordinary working farm horses. Following such events, horses bred for farm work were replaced with horses specially bred for speed and stamina.[2]
