Pony carts are a charming and traditional mode of transport. However, there are many synonyms to describe this type of vehicle. One alternative name for a pony cart is a "pony trap." This term harks back to the days when poachers would use carts with concealed compartments to transport their illegally hunted game. Another name is a "pony wagon," which is a type of cart that has four wheels and seats. "Pony sleigh" or "cart sleigh" is another name that refers to the same vehicle but is designed for use in snowy conditions. No matter the name, these carts are loved just as much for their unique appearance as they are for their functional use.
