Actual roadsters in eastern Europe, from which modern show and racing competitions derived.

Roadster is a type of

racing silks. However, the exhibitors do not race. Instead, they perform in an arena at horse shows at trotting gaits

that include a slow jog, a medium speed "road gait," and a rapid and long-strided but controlled trot referred to as showing "at speed." Animals are evaluated on performance and manners.

This type of class is particularly popular in Shetland pony and Morgan horse breed shows.
