Carriage Ride
Long before horses were ridden for the first time in prehistoric times, man harnessed them for help with outdoor work. The invention of the carriage was extremely useful in other areas as well, because it allowed people to travel great distances quickly, while transporting larger amounts of cargo. For many centuries, the carriages of Lipica drove between Trieste and Vienna, travelling the entire journey in just three days.
