Four-in-hand (carriage)

A four-in-hand is a team of four horses pulling a carriage, coach or other horse-drawn vehicle.

One of the international events featuring only four-in-hand teams is the FEI World Cup Driving series.

Membership was limited to thirty and they all drove private coaches known as park drags made on the pattern of the old Post Office mail coaches but luxuriously finished and outfitted.

Other enthusiasts revived old coaching routes and took paying passengers.
