In the 17th century, the Coaches were imposing vehicles, kinds of coaches diligences, who carried passengers and luggage. Towards 1784 came the English postal cars, Mail Coaches that disappeared to 1848, with the advent of the railroad. During the Golden Age of the Coaches, a keen taste for the art of driving a four-horse team, manifested itself in the entourage of the Prince of Wales, future king George IV. 
From the beginning of the 19th century, the aristocracy's young men created very closed clubs for this practice and had the private replicas of these cars built for private use: the Private Coaches or Drags were born, serving mostly to parade at all social gatherings. But the practice of this extraordinary sport has long been perpetuated because it requires the mastery of four horses at the same time. To lead, the driver has at his disposal only the long reins, without benefit of the action of his legs, as the rider. For this sport, horses are hitched to stretchers, with collar harnesses composed of bridles, Necklaces, cinch, carapace, reins and brake nets.
Perfectly mixed, it is most pleasant and comfortable to wear!
