A barouche was a fashionable type of horse-drawn carriage in the 19th century. Developed from the calash of the 18th century,[1] it was a four-wheeled, shallow vehicle with two double seats inside, arranged vis-à-vis, so that the sitters on the front seat faced those on the back seat. It had a soft collapsible half-hood folding like a bellows over the back seat and a high outside box seat in front for the driver. The entire carriage was suspended on C springs. It was drawn by a pair of high-quality horses and was used principally for leisure driving in the summer. A light barouche was a barouchet or barouchette. A barouche-sociable was described as a cross between a barouche and a victoria.

The word barouche is an anglicisation of the German word barutsche, via the Italian baroccio or biroccio and ultimately from the Latin birotus, "two-wheeled". The name thus became a misnomer, as the later form of the carriage had four wheels.

Ang kalesa ay isang sasakyang hinihila ng kabayo. Nakikita ito sa mga probinsya ng Ilokos, lao na sa may Vigan City, ang kabuuan ay yari sa kahoy at nilalagyan ng bakal bilang suporta. Ang kalesa ay pinapatakbo ng isang kutsero. Nilalagay ng sapin ang ilalim ng puwitan (anus) ng kabayo para dito babagsak ang mga dumi (feces) nito. May nakasabit ding mga balde ng tubig para inumin ng kabayo.
