RE: [RC] Standardbreds and Part Standardbreds in Endurance - The Colliers

Yes, a car/truck with folding gates paces the horses (like a pace car on a race track), then they fold the gates to the vehicle, and the horses trot/pace by.  So, it's a running start, not a standing start.

were wondering if perhaps some sort of motorized equipment was pulled along
in front of them then removed.
