The Hogwarts carriages are used by students in the second year and above, to travel from Hogsmeade station to the school.

From the Story[]

The carriages appear to be horseless, and travel in a long procession up the track towards the castle.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix[]

Discovered in chapter 10, Luna Lovegood[]

The Hogwarts carriages are pulled by skeletal horses, which are not visible to everyone, thus the assumption by many that the carriages move by magic.
