Horse racing scene oil on canvas by Carl Bauer 20th

Horse racing scene ( harness racing ) painted on panel mid 20th century .

Harness racing is a form of horse racing in which the horses race at a specific gait (a trot or a pace).

They usually pull a two-wheeled cart called a sulky, or spider, occupied by a driver.

In Europe ( less frequently in Australia and in New Zealand ) races with jockeys riding directly on saddled trotters (trot monté in French) are also conducted.

Very well executed artwork , a really eyecatcher for all interiors .
