Hackney Horse shows offer mostly harness classes, as this breed was created especially for their brilliant performance in harness, although some 'in hand"or under saddle classes are offered too.
In harness they are shown singly and also in teams, which might be pairs side by side, two in tandem ( one in front of the other) or four in a team (two side by side, behind another side by side pair an all four a team).
Hackney Horse shows offer classes that may be divided by the sex of the horse, by lady drivers only, or into amateur and professional drivers. The incredible park trot never fails to thrill horsemen and audience alike, because the unmatched leg action of Hackney Horses give all viewers the feel of suspended motion while being performed with piston-perfection and grace.
