Animal-Powered Travel Modes

Ways of travelling that depend on the muscles of animals, such as horse riding, camel caravans and dog sledding. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the mode horse riding, a camel train or dog sledding. It excludes human-powered travel. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members. It is one of the groups under the Animal-Drawn Mode subcategory of the Transport atlas, which has its own browse page listing every group and member.
