horsedrawn

Carriage propulsion method

Horsedrawn describes vehicles or equipment pulled by horses rather than powered by engines: a horsedrawn carriage, a horsedrawn plow.

The term evokes a pre-automotive era and appears in historical contexts or for deliberately old-fashioned transport like tourist carriages.

Also spelled horse-drawn.
