"I have been driving horses and ponies for 35 years. There is no doubt that the Caspian Horses are world beaters in all fields."
 
-- Colin Cornwell, driving competitor

Harness Horse As Colin further explains, "Scurry Driving is driving a pair of horses in a scurry cart against the clock through an average of 12 to 14 sets of cones timed from start to finish. Again, Caspians have beaten them all! Recently, I have had the privilege of competing at indoor driving trials against three world champion drivers and many top class competitors. The Caspian pairs set some of the best times of the day against the top opposition which was very rewarding."

The Caspian makes an excellent harness horse, graceful and energetic. It is extremely fast and agile for its size. In single, pair and tandem turnouts, in Dressage, cross-country and Obstacle driving, the Caspian is a frequent winner. Even Caspian stallions can be driven side-by-side. Their acceleration, maneuverability and intelligence bring them considerable success.
