Abstract

A harness racing hitch in which the horse and the sulky are coupled together allowing the horse improved freedom to lean into the turns of a racetrack, to pivot between the sulky shafts and to be able to move up and down with respect to the sulky. The sulky shafts are interconnected by a yoke which overlies and is attached to the saddle of the horse harness by a coupling allowing the horse limited but sufficient free movement in all three planes of motion.
