Post chaise

A post-chaise is a travelling carriage operated in the 18th and early 19th centuries, travelling from post-to-post, and changing horses at each stage. With a closed body on four wheels, seating two people, and drawn by two or four horses, it is basically a chariot with the coachman's seat removed. Riders, called postilions, rode the near-side (left) horse of each pair pulling the carriage.
