Three-in-hand
As Dreispänner one next to each of three previous is horses or other draft animals drawn carriage team called. This type of covering appeared in Roman times and is therefore sometimes also called triga (from Latin ).
Tension
In contrast to the troika , the three-in-hand horse is driven with three pairs of lines, the horses walk in parallel and all in the same gait. Most of the time the middle horse goes in single-horse scissors , the outside horses are harnessed to the logs .
In driving, the three -in-hand horse is a type of tension that is seldom practiced ; it can be seen in some Immenhof films , for example , where three-in-hand Shetland ponies are driven.
Agricultural tension
The combination of two pairs of logs used to be common, especially in the agricultural sector: the strongest of the three horses was harnessed to one side of the log attached to the wagon, and another pair of logs to which the other two horses were harnessed was hung on the other side. In the agricultural sector, especially for heavy work such as plowing, different draft animals such as cattle and horses were often harnessed next to each other.
