horse-drawn carts

Equine-hauled transportation vessels

Horse-drawn carts are wheeled vehicles pulled by horses, used for transporting goods or people before motorized transport became widespread.

The term evokes rural life, historical settings, or deliberate simplicity: Amish families still travel by horse-drawn cart.

In modern contexts, they appear as tourist attractions or in ceremonial processions.
