  • We need more horse-drawn vehicles and fewer motor vehicles in crowded cities. Horses have lived and worked in cities for ages right along side the people there. Many forward-thinking European and UK cities and towns are going back to using real horse power because it is non-polluting, safe, and economical. More carriages, fewer cars.

  • If motor vehicle traffic is a problem for the horses, than regulate or ban some of the private cars from the areas where the carriages operate. Horse-drawn vehicles were used for centuries before the polluting and poisonous internal combustion engine was invented. Fossil fuel guzzling motor vehicles are THE problem, not the horses.

  • Since the people majority of New York City are against keeping the horse drawn carriages then this should be an open and shut case. Listen to the people and end the abuse.

  • ...horses and they are quite open. They're not at all averse to entertaining an interview as I asked if that would be alright. They gave me names, addresses and more inviting me to speak with them about these charges. Frankly, if the animals were subjected to horrible conditions, they would not be so eager to have me "snooping" about, asking questions and taking pictures. I think PETA is doing what it typically does...sensationalizing a situation that's really not that big a deal.

  • A grown man can push and pull the cart on his own without much effort, so, when considering that this is a horse, it certainly isn't too demanding. Moreover, the horses travel through Central Park. They wait near the park for passengers and only enter into the thoroughfare when they are departing or returning to their stables. Other than that, they mostly relax on the outskirts of the park or are easily pulling a cart through it. I've spoken with a few drivers about the condition of their...

  • Before I get to my general comment, does anyone know the title of the musical piece that was played at the onset of this film?

    Anyway, as a New Yorker, I see these horses quite often and most of them appear to be in good shape. There are some that are a little older and a bit on the skinny side, but as a whole, they look to be in good condition. People have said that they are pulling a heavy cart, but, really, the cart is NOT that heavy as the size of the wheels facilitate pulling it handily.

  • i went to city hall rally / ;press conference and was at central park rally today..and will continue to fight for the horses rights.. please join us.

  • Three carriage horse accidents in NYC just in the last month . One horse collapsed and died. Another collapsed and laid on the ground for 15 minutes , the third horse was spooked by a car horn and ran into the street dragging his overturned carriage until he was stopped. Enough is enough.

  • i just cant believe people would do that. when i saw the horse looking out the window in the building, i felt something. it made me cry, that horse was stuck in a freaking BUILDING. not outside, where it should be. this is the worst thing i have ever seen. i signed a petition to stop it, and when i get older, i intend to go to NY and protest it. nothing is going to stop me, i love horses, and i have one that was neglected, and i just want to take all of those poor creatures home with me.

  • @Chroma2021 DUH- THAT was already done more than 100 years ago. It's called an automobile and its infernal conpustion engine gobbles up precious non-renewable resources while spuewing out cancer-causing noxious gasses that help cause smog and the greenhouse effect.

    We need MORE horse-drawn carriages and FEWER cars, trucks and busses in the crowded central business districts of our cities. Horse-drawn carriages the really GREEN alternative transportation

  • You guys need to get a life.

    Horses have been sharing the road with vehicles for almost a century. It is sad that horses were in accidents. Unfortunately accidents happen on roads and on the trail and in the barn.

    Bunch of PETA bullshit!

  • If you want to support a real animal charity and really make a difference, the Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals is currently feeding 400 horses starving because of the loss of the tourism industry in Egypt. They are running out of funding and only have about 2 weeks of food left.

  • You must truely hate horses because if not for the carriage industry these wonderful animals would most likely become dog food-sad but true. I have been in the carriage industry my whole life and most carriage horses are treated better than the average saddle horse who lives most of its life in a pasture where the grass and dirt ruin their teeth and they die earlyfrom lack of nutrients. Ipersonally, have never lost a horse with a carriage but have seen several people on bisycles hurt or killed,

  • This Blinders video is full of shit. I dont live in New York hell i dont even live in America. But i know what goes on. there is evdience everywhere that totally discredits this vid. Its just another PeTA ploy to gain more attention. Just like Earthlings was. People will buy into anything if you claim proof. And has anyone noticed yet? That PeTA seem to be able to magically get hold of all the documents, pictuers and videos on every animal industry? While other places only get very few?

  • @BornInBlood001 you need to take your blinders off,i.d hate to be an animal in your care

  • Yes, next lets ban horse riding in general! Its very cruel!

  • I'm going to new york this summer, avoiding any horse drawn carrages and persuading tourists to avoid them too.

  • this is fucking sad.

  • It's amazing how there are people who still try to deny the cruelty that is being done to these animals. They are of course the people who are profiting from this cruelty.

  • @pennymartina I know, it makes me so angry that people can be so cold hearted.

  • What a horrible waste of time.

  • why dont you leave hard working drivers and horses alone ? your real pathedic !

  • @11981942 *you're *pathetic

  • @11981942 As a horse owner, I would NEVER subject my horse to the intense treatment these horses endure on the NYC streets. I visit often and see their gait on the pavement (they were never intended to walk on), their too tight bits, their lack of reachable water and how many of the drivers are distracted by their fare that they aren't aware of the cars around them. It's just not necessary. Keep the horses in the park, improve their living conditions and make sure they ALL have regular turnout.

  • How about this news flash these F-N idiots learn to get their freakin foot off the gas pedal and move it to the damn brake.How about people learn not to do stupid crap near these horses(hello fireworks?) fines should be increased for cutting these horses off everyday. Whats the freakin rush.....the problem is the people and technology...yeah its easy to blame the horse and driver. But not the people to be in a hurry everywhere even if its fore a stupid latte' or designer shoes.

  • this is very powerful ! People need to know the immense cruelty these horses suffer. Take the carriages out of NYC and let the horses go to sanctuaries where they could live a great life

  • Horses and cars, cabs, the streets of NYC do not mix! If there was someway the horses could just be in Central Park...wish a new stable there just for them. They could graze on the grass and the manure could be used in the gardens of the Park. Stricter monitoring....but they have to be centralized...all together in a new better environment. Shorter shifts....alot of things to think of but it must be changed..it has to be. Thank you, Donny, for this film...

  • Please everyone - boycott and refuse to support the carriage horse industry.

  • @irishveganboy Yeah but guess what PETArd? Its never going to happen.

  • It breaks my heart ! I want these poor horses rescued! This is no place for horses to be --in and among all the traffic!

  • NYC ROMA FIRENZE....;(((

  • Stupidest cause of all time... Ban horsedrawn carriages? No Maybe improve the way the horses are cared for and monitor it more closely, but ban? That's ridiculous.

  • this production is a piece of garbage that Micheal Moore would be proud of

  • Horse drawn carriages are as incompatible as cars with my goal of pedestianising large swathes of New York City. Park Avenue, Broadway, and many of the major streets in New York City I want pedestrianised.

    And, of course, I support our king's plans for congestion pricing.

  • What an absurd segment. Meat eaters complain about the dramatised death of one horse in New York City when the food they eat spends its entire life being tortured in overcrowded, filthy factory farms; when there are orders of magnitude more human fatalities in automobile accidents. Oh, please! Save your moral outrage.

  • @hoochee003 How do you know that the people who protest the horse-drawn carriage industry are meat eaters?

  • @donnymossnyc I am sure that many of them are vegetarians including myself. But those who are not, like Suzanna B Troy, should avoid hypocrisy by becoming vegetarians.

    I see horse drawn carriages as an evil but not one at the top of my list.

  • This is the modern era, and the crowded city is no place for horses on the streets next to cars and emergency vehicles and traffic. Thanks Donnie for your courage and to all at the Coalition to Ban Horse Drawn Carriages, for seeing these beautiful, sensitive and intelligent beings as more than just beasts of burden.

  • Hi Donny, you wanna be motherflower. How did you like that 44-4 vote? loser.

    We will continue to thrive in NYC, you will continue to piss off every council member in NYC with your self importance, and arrogance.

    Keep it up you shill. We couldn't have gotten our raise without you!!

    ha ha ha ha ha

  • We have been in business since 1862, we know more about our business than ANYONE. I have trained and driven horses on the streets of NYC for 25 years, NO ACCIDENTS !! S o learn more before giving advice

  • @StopLiesSeeTruth don´t give up with that !! What do you do when your horse is scared of something ?in the video you have seen a horse running away. what would you do ? nothing ! what would you do when you horse run into a car ?

    this is not the only point. A HORSE DOESN´T BELONG TO NEW YORK !!! like the woman has said : they come from an other kind , they are just been droped there !

  • These guys are communists who attack anyone that doesn't like their line of work. Look at them all on this page. They don't allow anyone to think or hear both sides. I raised horses and they don't belong in NY city. They belong in the country.. anyone knows that... Hey use dogsleds with wheels!

  • Dishonest reporting like this is nauseating. You loud mouth morons should go work at a no-kill shelter or do something else constructive rather than harass people looking to take a horse carriage ride. I don't see any abuse going on here, and frankly I can speak with confidence that the sociopaths who put this piece of garbage together know there is no abuse going on here.

    Fuck you and your lies.

  • @hellsunicorn you are a sad human being... horses feel pain too, like any animal. keeping them stalled in buildings like if they were cars is inhumane and New York city and horses should not mix, not only for the horses safety and sanity but also for the people walking on the streets, it is very dangerous, animals are unpredictable.

  • @TheSqueenie

    Different horses are bred for different purposes, the ones used in pulling carriages are as well. As the proud owner of 5 quarter horses, I can speak with confidence that you have no idea what you are talking about. StopLiesSeeTruth has put up videos of where these horses live during the off-season, and I'll bet their accomodations probably exceed most people.

    I'd say go hug a tree, but you'd probably be too afraid that you'd damage it in the process.

  • I dont find anything wrong with this, its been around for CENTURYS! CENTURYS GOT THAT IDIOTS! they just need to make it safer and get the horses a real stable!

  • I was just in NYC and observed the carriages first hand. I am a lifelong equestrian. My first impression is that conditions for the horses are marginal at best. I'd suggest a strict timetable of use, restricted hours the horses work, restricted zones where they work, quietest streets in NYC, Central Park only, and on/off days in rotation - with 8 X10 box stall each at minimum. Reduce bad weather and night time use. The horses looked depressed, but some of this is horse behavior in general.

  • @theodorodepangrazia We have all that you mention in place, do some redearch before shooting from the hip

  • @theodorodepangrazia

    WE have ALL of the things listed. Please take time to do your research. I have vids posted showing all of our laws and the insides of our stables. FACTS that ARE backed up by evidence!

  • @theodorodepangrazia Your first impession is grossly uninformed, we HAVE ALL the restrictions you mention and more. Our stalls are bigger thaan 8x10, we have rotation and time off, heat restrictions etc etc. We have all the regs we need, what we don't need is the "I know better than you attitude" from "PASSERS BY" who come to a world of conclusions in the 4 minutes it takes them to walk by our horses.

  • finaIIY peopIe wiII see what reaIIy goes on. bravo!

  • Don't ban carriage horses. Ban the a**hole operators who abuse them!

    And the horses are behind "bars". It's called a stall! Go to a barn out in the country, horses are occasionally kept in stalls.

  • I agree - anyone abusing a carriage horse should lose their license instantly.

    Thing is - that law is ON the books already, and out of the thousands of inspections by the ASPCA, they have NEVER found a case of cruelty.

    The anti-carriage brigade is all smoke and mirrors - the facts are on OUR side.

  • One word, Peatarded

  • @canadaisthenorth You said it!

  • Remember kids, you can see Mr Frank Rodden at 38 minutes into "Blinders" pulling on a mask to commit an assault.

    He's the one with the filthy ponytail claiming he treats his horses well, despite evidence to the contrary!

  • "the audit found that DoHMH had not established an Advisory Board called for by the Citys Administrative Code and that DCA did not conduct required carriage inspections."

    "During this current audit, we noted several new issues not cited in the previous audit: DCA processes renewals of horse licenses after the licenses have expired, DoHMH inspectors do not use stable inspection form VPHS 100 to record stable inspections, and DoHMH does not maintain an accurate list of horse licenses."

  • Have a good look at the ratings on the comments,

    The vast majority of people support the carriage house business, they also hate Peta and there pathetic little band of big mouthed bigots who harass the drivers and there customers.

  • Well that's just not true now is it? It seems a certain thug is going around and changing things.

    Stick to abusing the animals in Australia and don't put your nose in where you haven't a clue

    You are just another abuser using animals for money and thought you'd butt in here with some nonsense?

    Nice try...

  • I will tell you what is the same the world over.

    The bigoted ignorant vegan propaganda against all animal industry's.

    You will never stop people from eating meat.

    Nor will you stop the carriage horses in NY.

    PETA are about money not animals

  • I eat meat and wear leather shoes.

    I'm not with PETA or anybody you may know

    I see the horses being abused by thugs who make $15 million a year, all in cash and expect the horses to act like machines.

    That stop lies clown is working his way into jail. You can see what a brain surgeon he is at 38 minutes into "Blinders."

    Who pulls a mask on after the camera sees his face to commit an assault?

    That should give you some clue as to whom we're dealing with here.

    Don't believe him, he lies

  • Theres nothing new about PETAs band of lunatics wanting to make fools of themselves, but they should leave everyones children out of it. PETA is a multi-million dollar menace to children of all ages, and most parents dont even know their kids are being targeted. The groups campaigns often have violent or sexualized themes that are totally inappropriate for kids.

  • And what does PETA have to do with the abuses of the horses?

    I keep hearing the PETA name but I never see them, don't know anybody from there, don't care about them.

    Must be really afraid of them to keep throwing the name out.

    Stick to the topic or just stay with your booze and leave the good fight to those smart enough and strong enough to carry it on!

  • Pay that sheep mutilator no mind, radioreporter.

    Waratah is a useful idiot for the animal abusers, whoring about mouthing off about PETA when he should be tending to his flock of flystruck sheep.

  • Thanks, that's what I thought

  • Monitoring by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Department of Consumer Affairs at the Central Park South carriage stands is inadequate, the audit found, and lax veterinary care in the field and infrequent inspections have created health hazards. Horses are not provided with enough water, risk overheating on hot asphalt and are forced to stand in their own waste because of inadequate drainage.

  • maybe you should read the comptoller's audit of the horse drawn carriage industry in NYC, then tell me how well they're taken care of.

  • The comptrollers audit criticizes the CITY not the industry...reread it.

  • Dirt in their hooves and It's about NYC stables not farm...genius

  • this movie is awesome! makes people not want to go on those carrige horse rides

  • It's spelled carriage !

    And this "movie" is ara propaganda.

    Go to my channel and see the truth

  • Sure sure. The truth coming from the guy who puts on a mask in "Blinders" at 38 minutes to attack after the cam sees his face?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HA!!!

  • That truth is coming from a guy seen at 38 minutes into "Blinders" pulling on a mask, after the camera has seen his face, while he commits a felony assault.

    No brain surgeon here! I would question just who is giving the propaganda.

    Those who tell the truth, or the guy who has property in 3 countries, as well as a NYC stable and an upstate horse farm, all bought with his share of a $15 million all cash business.

    Go to his channel and watch him try to justify making the horses work on pavement

  • That's right!

  • That's right! Don't pay for abuse!!!

  • NYC has the highest accident rate in the country. see the videos and watch the full movie Blinders in the Documentary channel to view these poor horses sufferings. the drivers don't want you to see this side of the industry. That is why there are here every day rating comments and posting lies.

  • There was another accident on Sept 19, 2009 in Manhattan.

    All lies coming from the horse abuse for money industry

  • Where is the proof? Do you have any reliable source that covered this incident?

  • I could see such s comment if you had actually done an exhaustive search and found nothing, but since you can Google and find it covered by every NYC station and paper, I'd have to go with the fact that you're a moron.

    Here ya go stupid:

    watch?v=c_l_9MD29vs&feature=pl­ayer_embedded

  • And making poor comment marks so no one can see them.

    What are they afraid of, the truth?

  • You have yet to show a stable that is actually a carriage horse stable that is in poor condition or a horse that is skinny or has badly cared for feet or health.

    You harass these drivers and their customers and act like an ass, then the only part you show in your video is them reacting. Typical slanted journalism.... some people believe it, hopefully most expect reality and facts.

  • People say it's romantic and sweet the idea yes, the act no. People do this thinking the money goes towards the horses as well, it does not. The livery they stay at is horrendous and is never cleaned. The food and water never replaced and few of them are even groomed. Seriously, have you ever come close to one? Their coats are dull, their hooves are filled with dirt and debris and if you look at the white horses some are so dirty their legs are yellow and even gray from the dirt

  • What dirt?

    You need to watch some of my vids and see how my horses are taken care of, you can see my farm and one of our stables.

  • You still haven't shown where that comment was made.

    I think you're lying like the time I busted you making the claim that she said something to a girl who was 13 until I pointed out that 13 year olds weren't allowed to have a page on that site.

    OOOOPS!

    We're checking phone records to see who made a certain threatening call to a storage house and bar.

    You have a phone, don't you Frankie boy?

    Liar Liar Pants on Fire!

  • animal pulled vehicles are dangerous in 21st century city.NYC has the highest horse drawn carriage accident rate in the country, since 1994 there have been 26 accidenst involving horse-drawn carriages, injuring 31 people and killing 5 horses.

  • I doubt it is the highest in the country, probably Pennsylvania Amish country... they do almost all their business by carriage or wagon.

    Oh but that's right you just make it up as you go along, so it doesn't really matter what the truth is.

    I don't mind people that have a real beef with something, and are accurate, but lying to get your way is BS.

  • They don't have 9th Avenue tunnel traffic anywhere in Amish country.

    And don't assume anything. Probably? Talk about making it up

    You come to town, now time to leave!~!!

  • Most of the videos of the carriage drivers are on youtube. you see one of them calling someone faggot for no apparent reason, videos of them overcharging tourists., videos of them harassing pedicab drivers, video of driver talking about his penis, video of them attacking activists. it is on YOUTUBE for you to view. You have no proof only slander and threats her

  • Amazing, how they even rate all my comments and check this site, see my video surveillance.

  • see movie blinders, see my videos of the horses in traffic, these are the scenes the industry doesn't want you to see.

  • Less than 50% of New York Carriage drivers hold drivers licenses. these cash-only businesses overcharge consumrs and provide limited resources to the city. According to audit conducted by NC comptroller, carriage horses don't have ready access to water, have no shade in the summer, work on hot pavement and stand in dirty wate

  • wow that was possibly the most inaccurate and grammatically incorrect comment i have read in quite some time.

    good job. go read a book. learn a few things?

  • go die.

  • Comment removed

  • go die? not surprising from a person that supports the cruelty in NYC would also wish a person dead. shame. Perhaps your own words will hurt you.

  • it's not cruel!!! learn a thing or two!

  • Comment removed

  • my thoughts exactly. i don't wish death on anyone.... human or animal. jeez!

  • My mother in law and two of her friends had a lovely ride last week after eating at some restaurant in the Park. They said that both the horse and the driver were lovely and they gave the Horse an apple which was very kind of them. I think they mentioned that the driver was from Co. Kildare in Ireland which is of course world famous for its horses. I think you guys in NY should lighten up about these horses and maybe look after all the homeless people who have no food or shelter.

  • first the drivers never give them apples so I know you are lying. And the drivers are racist and homophobic. they called this filipino woman a mail order bride who eats dog. See video of them calling people faggots and telling people to suck their *** and assaulting activists and pedicab drivers. you see them on youtube. watch them if you don't believe.

  • just because you are Irish and made friend with Irish drivers doesn't mean you should support the cruelty. stand up for the right thing and don't play the race card. Also many Irish with ethics don't support the cruelty and support the ban. and speaking against animal cruelty doesn't mean we don't help homeless people. You are only trying to divert the issue since there is no excuse for this abuse.

  • zuzu tells me to get a life but he is here so much and I wonder why. I wish he would spend some of the that time at least to provide shading for the horses, I hate summer in NYC, watching the horses passing out from heat exhaustion and standing behind idling city buses. disgusting.

  • End what happen to all the lawsuits? you can't sue and we both know it, the truth is not liable.

  • you and the other drivers have no credibility, how would trust a bunch of scam artists? Do you really believe anyone believe all those crazy mails you send to them? That is why they don't even respond to you anymore. and yes karma is real and the nut with all her alias and foul racist mouth will receives what she deserves in the end. She knows it as well.

  • I believe these horses are adequately looked after. Why would the drivers mistreat the horses when they depend on the same animals to earn a living. I would have no hesitation about taking a ride in Central Park after watching this video. Hysterical Nonsense. It is ironic that the horses have fewer working hours mandated by law than New York City cab drivers. What a laugh.

  • It's not so funny when the horses get hit by cars. And the horses probably aren't laughing when they spook and flee in Times Square. You're obviously a carriage driver.

  • Those horses are in Time Square 1am in the morning. they double shift the horses, the horses not the drivers work longer hours. what a laugh that you permit the drivers to scam you as they scam the tourists they overcharge. Look at the horsesinnyc videos and links for the truth. they are in it for the money and they don't even spend time or money to give the horses shade from the sun but they are here everyday monitoring comments and messaging lies to suckers to support the cruelty.

  • this is not about race, they tried to play the irish cards but most of the drivers aren't even irish and a lot of supporters for the ban are Irish.

  • Interesting.... I hadn't noticed these things

  • Her profile. :)

    horsesinnyc likes to let me know that I'm not even IN NYC, so I don't even know what I'm talking about. Then she forgets and accuses me of being a driver. LOL

  • I am wondering why you would not try and remove the cars from NYC

  • The city has over 8 million residents and over 48 million tourists a year, NYC is a service city. It is unfeasible to not have cars in NYC. the city is 24/7. What I don't understand is why must horses be subjected to these inhumane conditions to haul tourists when there are so many alternatives. it is very cruel in NYC>

  • what this industry does to these poor horses is cruel and they won't show you this side because it is about money.

  • and what is ironic is that these same people who play the race card are racist and even told this chinese girl that she needs to open her eyes and called this spanish guy a monkey. horrible people and you can see video here on youtube of them calling this guy a faggot and telling people to *** his penis. horrible people.

  • This movie is a documentary and there was been no contrary evidence to what this documentary showed. I witnessed most of the cruelty myself. Anyhow, you can see this move on Doc Channel. I posted the link on my page.

  • The ENTIRE movie can be broken down and disassembled to the bunch of pure b.s. it truly is. Its my next project for youtube. Showing the absolutely twisted facts and lies throughout the entire "film". It will be FUN to show the world just what a ********** this guy is!

  • , there are captions, i bought the DVD and it has the captions. If you don't believe me then buy a copy on the blinders website. This is the trailer and not the movie itself, perhaps the captions on the doc channel

  • [[[At 1:14, if the director and camera man were standing there, watching people light up sparklers next to a horse, why the f@ck wouldn't they SAY SOMETHING!?! Purposefully spooking a horse is terrible, no matter what the circumstances. Allowing it to happen makes me think it was staged for the camera.]]] Everyone is at fault except the drivers who place these horses in that situation. So much lies and denial.

  • I don't have to ask, the movie states the caption as to the time and place of these events. The horse spooked by the sparklers shows how horses spooked easily which is a public safety issues when they are in the midst of traffic.

  • LOL at the remarks of the 2 below drivers. This video was made in NYC by Donny Moss. see movie on my channel and see the solution video. peace.

  • Misleading, yes. But I believe it. So many of the dead horses that mockumentary shows aren't in NYC. Nasty tactic to make people think there have been more accidents than there were.

  • At 1:14, if the director and camera man were standing there, watching people light up sparklers next to a horse, why the f@ck wouldn't they SAY SOMETHING!?! Purposefully spooking a horse is terrible, no matter what the circumstances. Allowing it to happen makes me think it was staged for the camera.

  • Ponytail. Too funny. He's an angry one, for sure.

  • I hope you wander into my hunting area next fall. Make sure you wear deer antlers.

    Fucking stupid animal rights nazi and spell nazi. Go fuck off!

  • I own a puppy mill. I'll add 10 pair of Pomeranians to breed in your name.

    Open your fucking mouth again, and I might just stop at KFC tonight and buy an extra bucket for my neighbors.

  • Wow, General! All that factory-farmed Kentucky Fried Cruelty chicken you eat must make you 1) a bad speller, and 2) vile-tempered!

  • I love how idiots such as yourself whine like bitches over "bad spelling". Listen to this:

    I OWN A PUPPY MILL. I'LL (I WILL) ADD 10 PAIR OF POMERANIANS TO BREED IN YOUR NAME. (That is your, not you're like a douchebag like yourself might think).

    OPEN YOUR FUCKING MOUTH AGAIN ( whoa! there is a comma in the wrong place. That isn't a spelling error though, dipshit) AND I MIGHT JUST STOP AT KFC TONIGHT AND BUY AN EXTRA BUCKET FOR MY NEIGHBORS.

    Whine whine whine. Bad spelling?

    GTFO

  • Aw, I didn't mean to send you running for the dictionary and spellchecker! I'm giggling at your username! reel smart!

  • You are a douchebag of the highest sort. IT IS A FUCKING USER NAME.

    My friends know why it is "spelled incorrectly" douchebag.

    Maybe it has something to do with my last name... But you are clearly obsessed with spelling. So believe what you want.

  • Oh, irony. Wow. The brooding, coffeehouse type of heartless animal exploiter.

  • I ride these horses every time I go to NYC (About 6 times a year.) I always recommend them to friends who visit and they all enjoy them.

    I also buy purebreeds from puppy mills because, well, I own one and that's how I get animals that I want to breed. I have several different breeds in cages in a metal building behind my house.

    I eat at KFC all the time since there is one with a buffet about 1/2 mile down the road.

    Now cry. Cry like you've never cried before!!! Waaah! Waaaannnh!!!

  • Yikes... animal exploiters of all kinds are angry and vulgar. Maybe it's too much "meat," as you call it.

  • Time warp? The horses were there BEFORE cars and they have ALWAYS been there. It is the cars that don't belong if anything.

  • Evolve and stop abusing the horses and how many usernames will you create? It is sad to see you mentally breaking down on youtube over these videos. geez.
