This 4 tonnes vehicle was created by Roush Technologies and it specializes in racehorse and camel training.
It might look look just a big can, but this is a piece of high-tech machinery able to monitor racing animals at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. The nameless vehicle has some kind of enclosure in front of it, resembling a horse starting stall, in which animals can walk and gallop while being monitored by veterinarians and racing experts. It has a centered seat for the driver and two more for a racing specialist and a veterinary expert. Onboard technologies include heart, oxygen, breathing and fitness monitoring to make sure they are in top shape for official races.
Personally I think it’s a stupid, worthless vehicle, but I guess there’s some serious money in races…

“Personally I think it’s a stupid, worthless vehicle”
grrrrrr, huh? they should have called you first, I guess.
Considering there are millions at stake, every race, and some of those horses are worth more than three large houses combined, I’m surprised they didn’t come out with something like this sooner. My only thought is, is the throttle controlled to neutralize the weight of the vehichle while the horse is pulling?
