What did you do today?

What an impressive accomplishment!  This is a difficult hitch to drive.  It definitely shows how well trained Finn is and what an accomplished driver you are. 

In history, the unicorn hitch was used to drive a stallion from farm to farm to breed the mares.  The two wheelers (Sonic & Scout) did all the work pulling the wagon while the stallion up front (Finn) enjoyed the view at the front.  The stallion wasn't tired from pulling a load when he arrived at a farm and could do his job with the mares.

Thanks! 

I've also read that unicorn and tandem hitches were used for driving hunters to hunt meets. The huntsman didn't want to tire his horse by riding it for miles to the hunt so he would hitch it out front where it didn't have to pull or carry any weight. Seems like you could accomplish exactly the same thing by tying a horse to the back of the carriage, but I guess that's not quite as flashy or impressive.
