charioteers
Horse-drawn vehicle operators
Charioteers are drivers of chariots—the two-wheeled horse-drawn vehicles of ancient warfare and racing.
The term evokes classical antiquity: Roman charioteers competing in the Circus Maximus, Egyptian warriors charging into battle.
Figuratively, anyone who drives or controls something with skill and speed might be called a charioteer: He was the charioteer of the company's rapid expansion.
