"A coachman is a man whose business it is to drive a coach or carriage, a horse-drawn vehicle designed for the conveyance of passengers. A coachman has also been called a coachee, coachy or whip.
The coachman´s first concern is to remain in full control of the horses (or other similar animals such as mules) and another employee, traditionally a footman, would accompany the coach to handle any circumstances beyond the coachman´s control." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.06.2020)
