French term or phrase: attelage
Des manifestations sportives sont organisées sur le terrain à proximité immédiate de l'hôtel dont notamment deux jumping par an (un national et un international) et un concours d'attelage.

I know nothing about horses and am afraid this is a very specialized term. TIA

agree  David Goward: I've hidden my suggestion (harness racing) as I think you've got the right answer. Carriage driving is akin to eventing, I believe, whereas harness racing is obviously a race with many competitors running at the same time.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Rachel Davenport: Driving is the right word. But this is a 'concours' as you say so you need to call it either a trial or event. Horses is not really necessary as we know that we are talking about horses - show jumping is mentioned before. I'd opt for event and not trial.
