“Even if you see one eventing horse gallop past you or a host of race horses it’s pretty impressive, so when a team of horses gallop past you it can be a little bit overpowering,” Exell said.

There is a reason why the chariot-racing scene in the 1959 movie Ben Hur remains one of cinema’s most spectacular sequences of all-time. Eventually, all the chariots would be level, hurtling down the track together. As these chariots emerged and drew level with the ones in front the ropes holding them in fell and so on. At the sound of a trumpet an imperious eagle would rise at the point of the prow as a dolphin fell, this movement would precipitate the rising of the ropes holding in the back markers at either side. The mechanism was the shape of a ship’s prow, facing down the track.

With the driver perched on a wooden-wheeled, open-backed chariot, which rested on its own back axle, teams would funnel into an ingenious starting gate in Olympia’s specially-constructed Hippodrome. The four-horse chariot race was the most popular, prestigious and long-lasting event on the equestrian programme at the Ancient Games. “One horse is as strong as 10 men, when you multiply that by four you get that power and strength into one motion, the acceleration and g-force is unbelievable.” “You can’t quite comprehend the power of four horses when they hit stride together,” said Boyd Exell, the four-time four-in-hand International Equestrian Federation (FEI) world champion – just about the closest thing we have to a modern day charioteer. Present at the Ancient Olympic Games from 680BC, it continues to capture our attention and fuel our imagination more than two-and-a-half thousand years later.

I can't really speak to the fit of her wheelchair because I'm not an expert at all! But she was able to zip across the track during the race (albeit not as fast as another one of the dogs! But faster than she's going here I think). though one of them was missing a leg! This clip is after the race, where she's walking back from the finish line to the start/to get off the track. Iirc she was the only one with a wheelchair. Her name is Duchess and she came in 2nd in her heat against other special needs pups. In my book all the dogs here are winners.

I just wanted to share because I thought she seemed so happy & full of energy despite her handicap. Maybe cause it's a dog event, even though it was at a human amusement park that just happened to have a dog race today? Dogs aren't usually allowed.
