My picture is a man on a sulky with a beautiful race horse. People used a sulky to sit on instead of the horse's bare back, and it was a lot more comfortable. Usually the sulky was made of wood, but the spokes on the wheels were made of metal. The sulky was made in the blacksmith shop and by the carriage maker. Horse racing was popular in the early 1900's.

You can buy a horse and sulky today. The sulky is lighter now because it is made of a lighter material.
