People used to use horses to pull carriages, buggies and sleighs for getting around in the late 1800's and early 1900's, just as we use cars today. These vehicles were mostly made of wood, and there were different types of vehicles for different occasions. Single-seated buggies were used to carry one or two people; double-seated buggies carried more people. Sleighs were used in the winter for travelling over snow and sometimes ice, and came in different sizes. Smaller sleighs were used to carry a few people, and large sleighs might be used for fun excursions in the wintertime. Carriages also came in different sizes, and different types were used for different occasions.

Horse and Carriage

This picture is about a horse and carriage. This horse looks very strong. I think its color is brown, but the picture is black and white, so I cannot decide. I think the horse's purpose is to pull the cart, and that someone sits in the cart. The period of this picture was July, 1938. That's a long time ago!
