Troika: A Russian slay or carrage pulled by three horses, often a matched set. The slay or carrage was usually and normally pulled by one horse. However in a show of style and in a desire to increase "horse power," the slay or carrage was rigged to be pulled by three horses. Sometimes races were done in this style of rigging. The word literaly means a matched set of 3, or a harnes of three, or a group of three, and more loosly, the number three.
