Before you take a carriage horse ride
Published in the NY Daily News Before you take a
carriage horse ride, take a good look at the horse, which is shackled
from head to toe. A metal plate in his mouth is attached to a series of
bolts, straps and blinders that entirely circle his face; yanking on the
straps directs him; a neck brace and two heavy planks shackle him to the
800 pounds of weight he drags for long hours through exhaust fumes,
honking cars, screaming drivers, heat, cold, etc. This is cruelty and
shouldn't be patronized.
