Horse-drawn carriages began to decline in popularity in the late 19th century with the advent of the automobile, which gained widespread use in the early 20th century. By the 1920s, motor vehicles had largely replaced horse-drawn carriages for transportation in urban areas. However, horse-drawn carriages continued to be used in some rural areas and for recreational purposes, such as in tourism, well into the 20th century. Today, they are mostly seen in historical contexts or as attractions in certain cities.
Horse-drawn carriages became obsolete.
Horse drawn carriages never stopped because they still have horse drawn carriages. Technology got more advanced and they started making cars and vehicles and so carriages became less popular.
The horse-drawn carriage was still in use in the early 1950's, even though the automobile has been around since the turn of the century. I remember the ice wagon bringing ice for our icebox (non-electric refrigerator) each day in a horse-drawn wagon in 1953. I live in an area of Missouri heavily populated by Mennonite familys, so I see horse-drawn wagons nearly every day in my home town.

Horse drawn carriages have been in use for at least 3,500 years. The first were designated for royalty and for war in the form of chariots.
Boats are believed to have been invented before horse-drawn carriages. The earliest evidence of boats dates back to around 10,000 BCE, while horse-drawn carriages emerged later, around 2000 BCE. Boats were likely developed as a means of transportation over water, while carriages were created for land travel, marking different advancements in transportation technology.
The traditional methods of transportation that involve a horse pulling a cart are known as horse-drawn carriages or horse-drawn carts.
There is no law of no lights for horse drawn carriages in Missouri. While lights are recommended for safety, they are not required.
