four-in-hand
a special coach harness for driving four horses accurately and with minimum coach sway. The front horses are harnessed to the centerpole, the back horses are hitched to the forepart of the carriage proper. The driver has four sets of reins arranged so that a change of direction is signaled to both lead horses at once and not by one horse pulling the other.
