wagons
Horses drew them
Wagons is the plural of wagon—wheeled vehicles for hauling goods or people.
Farm wagons carry hay; station wagons carry families.
To circle the wagons is to take a defensive posture, from the frontier practice of arranging wagons for protection.
To be on the wagon is to abstain from alcohol; off the wagon means drinking again.
