The horse is pulling is. Physics. Laws of motion.....
In Britain, an open (flat bed) wagon pulled by a horse is known as a cart.
An enclosed horse drawn carriage is called a "coach". Examples of a "coach" are the Town Coach, Stage Coach, and Mail Coach. A coach often has a hard top (though some have what is called an "auto-top" for lowering, such as a Landau), with glass windows and doors.
A horse obviously cannot grasp a towing conveyance, so in order to move an object it needs the assistance of a horse harness. In the case of the harness, the horse pushes forward to move the cart, however basic physics define this as pulling the cart. Yes, the horse is pushing forward, but it is pushing the harness, NOT the cart. The cart is being PULLED by the harness with the horse providing the energy to move the cart. Some mistakenly believe this means the horse pushes the cart, but they are mistaken. With the weight of the cart (mass) being moved forward (force) from behind the energy source (horse), by definition the cart is being PULLED, regardless of the horse's type of energy exerted on the connecting harness.
Carts pulled by horses are still in use (even in the United States) so there is no last cart.
A chariot is a small two wheeled cart that can be pulled by either one horse or as many as ten.
It can be mean a loaded truck or a vechicle used to make a round or a horse cart or any cart pulled by animals.
A carriage is usually a cart pulled by a horse. It can also mean the car pulled by a train, which can contain passengers or cargo.
A cart-horse simply is a horse/pony that has been trained to pull a cart.
they would take a cart pulled by a horse or donkey or even walk to school if they lived close
Even though the cart is pulling on the horse with the same force that the horse is pulling on the cart, the weight of the horse, the way it runs, versus the way wheels move, all add up to make the sum of forces on the system move in the direction of the horse.
In some places yes, the horse is considered a vehicle. Some states you can get a driving while intoxicated ticket if you ride drunk.
A dray is a cart with no sides, essentially. An example sentence would be: The horse pulled the dray all the way to town.
