Harness horses have long been valued in world history and were well-used partners in mankind's efforts to establish his civilizations. However, the pride of driving a 'fine' and more stylish animal in harness was established in the heart of man only shortly after the fact of the horse's powers of utility in harness. In these days, horses are often driven for pleasure, but in the world of the show ring, the most elegant of harness horses are shown in fine harness.

In such Harness classes , horses display more animation and brilliance than in other driving classes and sport a natural mane and tail. Hitched to a four wheeled buggy, they perform at a fine animated walk, and an elegant but animated park trot.  In Fine Harness, manners and brilliance are top considerations in judging.  How does he "wear the harness" and look through the bridle? Does he display that fine high style along with manners?  Valued over speed, such elegance, animated movements and style have become in many cases a symbol for our own.
