The Harness Race
Yesterday I went to a harness race. If you are questioning yourself and asking "What is a harness race?" I will explain...I forgot to bring my camera with me so I do not have any pictures that I could upload, so it will be kind of hard to explain. But I will explain the best I can. A harness race is where there is more than one person racing against each other. The people who are racing are sitting behind their own horse. The people sit in their own chair like thing on wheels. The horses speed is mainly a canter/lope. If you are not sure how fast that is, I have made a little list that shows (in order) all of the horse gaits/speeds.

Walk:Slowest speed
Trot:A little faster than a walk
Canter/Lope:This gait/speed was the main gait/speed that was used at the harness race. It is sort of the middle speed because it is not too fast and it is not too slow.
Gallop: A gallop is basically a run. When you are talking you would not say "The horse is running." You would say "The horse is galloping."

When the horses were doing warm ups on the track, the odd time a truck would go around on the track with a big flat metal thing attached to the back of the truck flattening the track for the next race. There was another truck spraying water onto the track to smooth out the track for the next race. When the people are racing each other, they have to go around the whole entire track one and a half times. The horse that crosses the finish line first wins! Most of the horses were brown. Two of the horses were grayish. Even though I was not racing, I wish I was racing though :P , it was very fun watching! I myself REALLY love horses, especially Shetland ponies. If you do not know what a Shetland pony is, it is the smallest type of pony. They are SUPER cute!!! Anyways I do not know what type of horses were used for the harness race... Although I wish I knew.
