horse-drawn vehicles

Equine-pulled conveyances

Horse-drawn vehicles are wheeled conveyances pulled by horses rather than powered by engines.

The category includes carriages, wagons, carts, stagecoaches, and buggies.

Before the automobile age, horse-drawn vehicles were the primary means of land transportation.

They survive today mainly in tourism, ceremonial contexts, and traditional communities like the Amish: A horse-drawn carriage carried the couple through Central Park.
