Now if you are going for speed that's not what to use,
but then again they
may have needed the restraint since they were dealing
with novice drivers.
(of course, they could have also put training wheels
on the chariots so they
wouldn't tip in the turns...)
Not to mention the fact that inexperienced drivers were probably using the
reins as a major means of balancing themselves at the expense of the horses
mouths! At least experienced carriage drivers are more accustomed to the feel
of a carriage at speed even though seated. Perhaps getting a group of
navigators to drive the chariots would have been better. At least they are
accustomed to standing at speed LOL
