The buggy varies with the group and reflects how conservative the community is. The more conservative the community the more austere the buggy is, the more stocky the horse is. For instance, the Swartzentruber Amish, the most conservative of groups, will use a wooden wheeled buggy with steel bands that touch the road. The side curtains will be manually rolled up and tied. The front of the buggy will be open to the weather. No slow moving vehicle sign will be evident. At night they will use an oil lantern on the side of the buggy to be seen in the dark. Braking will be accomplished with a manual lever that binds on the steel part of the wheel to stop the buggy on a hill. The horse will resemble more of a work horse than the sleeker thoroughbred.
