Four-in-hand (carriage)
A four-in-hand is a carriage drawn by a hitch of four horses having the lines rigged in such a way that it can be driven by a single driver. The stagecoach and the tally-ho are usually four-in-hand coaches.
Today Four-in-hand driving is the top discipline of combined driving in equestrian sports. One of its major events is the FEI World Cup Driving series.
The four-in-hand knot used to tie neckwear may have developed from a knot used in the rigging of the lines.
