A horse-drawn vehicle is a mechanized piece of equipment pulled by one horse or by a team of horses. These vehicles typically had two or four wheels and were used to carry passengers and/or a load. They were once common worldwide, but they have mostly been replaced by automobiles and other forms of self-propelled transport. Vehicles primarily for carrying people. Road Ambulance: Much the same purpose as the modern sense. Details of the design varied but would be a lightly built and well-sprung, enclosed vehicle with provision for seated casualties and stretchers. Barouche: An elegant, high-slung, open carriage with a seat in the rear of the body and a raised bench at the front for the driver, a servant. Berlin Brake Britzka Brougham Buckboard Bus: See omnibus Buggy: A light, open, four-wheeled carriage, often driven by its owner. It is an American design. Cab: A shortening of cabriolet. Joseph Hansom based the design of his public hire vehicle on the cabriolet so the name cab stuck to vehicles for public hire. Cabriolet Calash or Calèshe: See barouche. Cape cart Carriage: In the late eighteenth century, roughly equivalent to the modern word "vehicle" [Walker]. It later came to be restricted to "passenger vehicle" and even to "private, enclosed passenger vehicle" [Britannica]. This last is the sense adopted by the linked article. Carryall Chaise Charabanc Cidomo, a form of horse-drawn carriage popular in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia. Clarence Coach Coupé Covered wagon: The name given to canvas-topped farm wagons used by North American settlers to move both their families and household goods westward. Varieties of this wagon include the Conestoga wagon (Larger wagons able to carry large amounts of goods and primarily used on flat trails, example: Santa Fe Trail) and prairie schooner (Smaller wagons more suited for mountainous regions, example: Oregon and California Trails). Curricle Dog cart: A sprung cart used for transporting a gentleman, his loader, and his gun dogs.
