This unique three-horse hitch has become a cultural symbol of Russia with a tradition as rich as its harness bells. A hundred bells announce the arrival of the troika. The troika was used to carry both rich and poor, and also to bear the mail (before the arrival of the railroad.) The horse and sleigh has become a symbol of the holidays, at least in the western world–but in Russia, it’s the three-horse troika that embodies both the spirit of Christmas and Russian culture.
This is the Russian version of 'Jingle Bells'!
