horse-drawn vehicle

Wagon with harness

A horse-drawn vehicle is any wheeled conveyance pulled by one or more horses—carriages, wagons, buggies, carts, stagecoaches.

The term became necessary only after motorized vehicles arrived; before that, they were simply vehicles.

Horse-drawn vehicles are still used in some Amish communities.
