Before modern times, horses were primarily used for two purposes, work and transportation. Horses were used for farm work pulling plows, wagons, and the like while they were also used to transport people and goods from place to place. Today, while some of these activities continue for nastalgia, most horses today are used for pleasure riding or pulling carts. There are pockets of groups, such as the Amish, that still use horses for farm work, and you can still find some horses pulling carts aroound cities for tourists.
