horse-drawn carriage

A horse-drawn carriage is a vehicle designed for transporting people, pulled by one or more horses. It typically consists of a sturdy frame, a seat or seats for passengers, and a chassis that connects to the horse's harnessing system. Carriages vary in size and style, from simple carts to elegant, enclosed coaches. Historically important for personal travel, work, and leisure, they rely on the horse’s strength and the driver’s skill to navigate roads. Today, they are often used for tourism, ceremonial events, or as a nostalgic nod to transportation before motor vehicles.
