Horse racing was a fun and active sport for the whole family. Horse racing is a sport when you sit on a sulky behind a horse holding onto the reins to help the horse steer. A sulky is a two wheeled bike. The wheels are side by side and between the two wheels there is a seat. In the late 1800's and early 1900's, a sulky was made out of wood, but today they can be made out of lots of materials.

Horse racing was a popular sport in PEI in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
