Get ready for the captivating elegance of the Horse Harness competition at the Perth Royal Show! 

Experience the grace and beauty of carriage driving as horses, with either two or four-wheeled carriages, navigate the arena. This discipline showcases the special bond between horse and handler, creating an atmosphere of refined charm for spectators. 

What to expect? 

The Harness competitions feature horses and ponies competing in various categories, including Carriage Driving, Race Cart, and Heavy Harness competitions. Whether your horse is an experienced competitor or new to the show ring, there’s a class for everyone to showcase their talent and style. 

In the Heavy Harness category, horses are presented in traditional harnesses without vehicles, paying homage to the rich history of draft horses. Meanwhile, Race Cart competitions highlight the versatility of Standardbred racehorses in their post-racing careers as show horses, demonstrating their grace and athleticism in a new setting. 

Horses are judged on their conformation, presentation, and paces within their respective fields, ensuring that only the most exceptional competitors take home top honours.
