reinsman
Sulky cart pilot
A reinsman is a driver of horses, particularly one who races harness horses—trotters or pacers that pull a two-wheeled cart called a sulky.
The term emphasizes skill with the reins rather than riding in a saddle.
The veteran reinsman guided his trotter to victory in the final heat.
Though occasionally applied to any skilled driver of horse-drawn vehicles, reinsman appears most often in harness racing contexts.
