horse and buggy
Pre-automobile carriage
Horse and buggy refers to a light carriage pulled by a horse, the standard personal transportation before automobiles.
The phrase now functions mainly as an adjective meaning outdated or old-fashioned: horse-and-buggy technology, horse-and-buggy thinking.
Some communities, notably the Amish, still use horse and buggy as primary transport.
