A horse cart or harness racing sulky comprises a fiber filled thermosetting resin (fiberglass) shell which partially encapsulates a U-shaped trussed bridge formed of metal tubing which has two wheels mounted on the downwardly depending legs thereof, and joins therewith bracing struts also formed of metal tubing extending upward from the wheel hubs to the fiberglass shell for partial encapsulation therein, and horse-flanking shafts protruding forwardly from the vicinity of the U-shaped trussed bridge. The fiberglass shell is preferably fabricated with bright colored or glistening metallic flake pigments, and has a gently arched top portion curving downward along its periphery into downwardly depending flanges and wheel pants. The combination of the fiberglass shell and the partially encapsulated U-shaped trussed bridge, braces, and horse flanking shafts comprise an extremely strong, lightweight, safe, weatherproof, rigid, unitary sulky having a graceful and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
