1850's LOL unless your horse had blinkers . i don't think horses and carriages can do a 3 point turn.

I will never forget the day I took my road test because it has historical significance. I took the test in the morning and around noon Richard Nixon left the White House after resigning.

Yes, but to save on batteries, they incorporated the use of the tail. Now when turning left, the horse swishes his tail excessively to the left. Same with a right turn.
