Story
The breeding and training of trotters for harnessing racing is presented. The movie focuses on one such trotter, Dixie Dan. His official training begins at age six months in such basic maneuvers as leading. At one year, he gets his first experience with the bit, reigns, and eventually the training cart, which is different than the sulky as the training cart sits back further to protect the rider from the actions of the inexperienced horse. Apparatus are placed on the horse's legs both to make him trot properly while protecting the hind legs from being hit by the front legs. The rider also has to prevent the horse from breaking into a full gallop. Dixie Dan is then seen in a series of competitive races, where the two and three year olds are in different classifications. Dixie Dan's training seems to have paid off with one success after another on the track, setting a first for movie horse racing history.
