Top: Sports: Equestrian: Racing: Chariot_and_Chuckwagon

Racing chariots and chuckwagons is a sport that reaches back to Roman times and the Wild West. Both are timed events, although the courses are different -- chariots are generally straight line sprints on a flat racetrack mostly with pairs of Quarter Horses, while chuckwagon races are comprised of teams (four ups) that negotiate courses and require human teamwork with driver and one or two outriders. Both are exhilerating sports that are wildly exciting to both participant and spectator.
