wagon

Horses pull it

A wagon is a four-wheeled vehicle for hauling loads, traditionally pulled by horses or oxen.

Children's wagons are small, low carts pulled by a handle.

A station wagon is a car with extended cargo space behind the rear seats.

To fall off the wagon is to resume drinking after a period of abstinence; to be on the wagon is to abstain.

To circle the wagons is to unite defensively against outside threats.
