A four-in-hand is a carriage drawn by a team of four horses having the reins rigged in such a way that it can be driven by a single driver. The stagecoach and the tally-ho are usually four-in-hand coaches. Before the four-in-hand rigging was developed, two drivers were needed to handle four horses. However, with a four-in-hand, the solo driver could handle all four horses by holding all the reins in one hand, thus the name. The four-in-hand knot used to tie neckwear may have developed from a knot used in the rigging of the reins. Today Four-in-hand driving is the top discipline of combined driving in sports. One of its major events is the FEI World Cup Driving series. ==Four-in-Hand in Art== File:Eakins, Fairman Rogers Four-in-Hand (May Morning in Park) 1880.jpg|''The Fairman Rogers Four-in-Hand'' (1879–80) by Thomas Eakins, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
