What consists of a horse and carriage unit?

Lets keep this simple and use as an example a 1-horse carriage. We'll start with the carriage and work forward to the horse. A carriage can be large and elaborite or small and light-weight like a sulkie. The average size can carry 2 to 4 people and can have 2 to 4 wheels. The 4-wheeled, larger variety are ones most commonly considered a carriage. Most of the smaller variety have 2 wooden 'shafts' that run on either side of the horse's sides. This is where the horse and cart meet. The horse has a harness just for this activity. He is backed between the 2 shafts and buckled to it. The reins are long because they have to reach clear back to the driver in the cart or carriage. When the horse has been trained the right way he will know what the driver wants and knows how to pull the cart in a safe manner. Words of Caution:If you are not an experienced trainer, one with experience in driving, please do not try to hook your horse up to anything, included a child's toy wagon, or the outcome could be disasterous. This is better left to people that know how to train in this specific area.
