What is a "sulky"?
A sulky is a small, lightweight, two-wheeled cart used for racing or light transportation, typically pulled by a single horse. It has a simple, minimalistic design with a low frame and usually features one seat for the driver. Sulkies are most commonly associated with harness racing, where a driver rides in the cart while the horse pulls it at high speeds around a track. The design allows for quick movement and agility, making it ideal for racing events.
Example
