Two years later, in 1958, the first self-propelled carriage to transport horse racing for equestrian sports was born. It is a small bumper pull carriage that can accommodate two horses, which was manufactured by American stidham company. The early carriage was small in size and only transported horses, with simple configuration and single model

Later, after a period of development, the manufacturing technology of carriage gradually matured. Carriage is not only the exclusive transportation equipment of horse breeding grounds, racetracks and equestrian teams, but also many private horse owners and families have begun to buy this kind of car. By the mid-1990s, the carriage industry had grown into a multi billion dollar market. Manufacturers increased the application of new materials and technologies and vigorously developed new products. Large quantities of assembly line standardized production mode began to appear

At present, most of the carriages needed in the foreign market are trailer type, which are mostly purchased by families and equestrian lovers, while professional institutions such as equestrian teams prefer self-propelled carriages

China's carriage industry started late and its technology was relatively backward. In the early stage, it was mostly refitted from ordinary trucks, and horse transportation injuries occurred frequently. Only in the 1980s did carriages with horse fences and devices for getting on and off horses begin to appear in China. At the beginning of the 21st century, with the development of domestic equestrian industry and the introduction and absorption of foreign advanced technology, there are also manufacturers specializing in the production of carriage in China

At present, the domestic professional carriage mainly includes full trailer and gooseneck semi-trailer without power, which is still a new thing. The domestic market share is small, and most of them are sold abroad. The self-propelled carriage is still in the system research and development stage and has not been mass produced
