All Animal-Drawn Mode

Transport modes that move people or goods using the muscular power of a domesticated animal, whether the traveler rides the animal directly or the animal draws a cart, sled or other vehicle. Belongs here: horseback riding, camel and other pack-animal transport, and animal-drawn carts, carriages and sleds. Does not belong here: any mode powered by a human's own effort, such as cycling or a hand-pulled rickshaw, which belong under Human-Powered Mode.
