I may be wrong, but the guy driving that horse looks like he is extremely inexperienced at driving. He is holding the reins completely wrong and would have little control if the horse needed it. Yes, I have driven horses actually hooked to a very similar wagon.

It's possibly just soldiers "letting off steam" or finding something to do with some free time. If there happens to be a horse and cart, unattended, and a group of soldiers close-by with nothing to do, it's probably only a matter of time before one or two of them decide to try their hand at "carriage driving".
