coachmen
Horse-drawn vehicle operators
Coachmen is the plural of coachman, a person who drives a horse-drawn coach or carriage.
The term belongs to an era before automobiles, when coaches were the primary means of passenger transport for those who could afford them: The coachmen waited outside the theater for their employers.
The word persists mainly in historical contexts.
