驾

jià

to harness

surname Jia; to draw (a cart etc); to drive; to pilot; to sail; to ride; your good self; prefixed word denoting respect (polite 敬辭|敬辞[jing4 ci2])

add (加) + horse (马) = drive or harness

马 anchors the meaning — harnessing or driving a horse. 加 mainly lends the sound jià and does not carry a story here.
