Carousels were not a solely male pursuit, in 1671 an event was held in Copenhagen at which the ladies of the Royal family tilted at the ring. The North European Courts developed a specific form of carousel for women, often taking place in fantastically carved sleighs formed as fabulous beasts or mussel shells, racing on the snow and tilting at the ring. Though these were favoured in the North where they were best suited to the climate, they did take place elsewhere. In 1721 Augustus the Strong had two thousand carts of snow delivered to Dresden for a Court Sleigh Carousel.
