No, I've come to realize you are just a troll, never rising to public enemy status.
FBI? No that was the IRS and they have the info on the guy with the farm. I looked into his affairs and found out 3 places he had money. As his main business is all cash, it gives them a lead. He dared me to do it, now he has to live with it.
You're next if you keep it up.... Remember you started it, you harassed me for posting a vid in the park of the horses. More to come asshole
you do realize these horses hoofs never touch the ground they were special shoes called pavment shoes if you dont know what a horse shoe is since your a city folk its a flated piece of metal shaped like a horses hoof thats nailed on to protect it. pavement shoes are non slip and give grip alot also have a rubber like matiral in the middle to keep the horse more comfortable
Let's see. You're a 27 year old waitress in the middle of nowhere. Have you ever been to NYC and followed these carriages as they go round and round on the pavement an in the traffic?
These horses have more near misses with cars in a day than all the traffic in your burg in a year.
Next time you want to argue, have a little first hand knowledge of the topic.
@RadioReporter01 does it ereally matter what my job discription is? no... I have been around horses since the day i was born, and i probly know more about carrige horses then you would ever pretend to know. have i ever been to NYC hell no dont want to get robbed. but thats another story.
You yourself have said you know nothing of horses so you cant judge how the feel. beleve me when a horse is unhappy it will let you know, as for the Near miss by cars 99.9 percent of the time its the car drivers fault not the carrige drivers
@RadioReporter01 so by your logic, you should also protest bikes, because they have near misses with cars more then horses do, and that could get the human on it killed. How about protesting cars, since they can sometimes go off the road and kill someone. Your logic is so falwed i get a headache just reading your comments, but i just wanted to let you know it isnt very logical at all and i wont be giving this crap video another view just to debate your flaws, just a thumbs down & get your facts
@skellion6969 but people have a CHOICE of being in the streets... the horse does not. I'm sure if it had a choice it wouldn't be trotting along in traffic w/ cars. Plus, not all carriage drivers take good care of their horses.
I've been working with horses since I was ten, and have volunteered my time working to rehabilitate abused horses since I was fourteen. I've seen my share of horses that show signs of abuse. These horses look perfectly *fine*.
And if you knew anything about horses, you would know that most thrive on work. In fact, horses that are regularly ridded/driven tend to live longer than horses that are not.
Do your horses go back to jail after 9 hours of pulling a carriage full of fat tourists for 9 hours without a break or feeding on hot or frozen pavement, never going for a run or laying down at night?
No? I didn't think so
In hot and extreme cold weather?
And since you've been ten? You're only 19 now HAHAHAHA
@RadioReporter01 Actually horses have pretty extensive body language. You should read some stuff on that some time.
For instance in this video the horses seem normal, even happy. You can tell by the slight bobbing of their head as they walk, it's a sign of energy and interest. If they were depressed, they wouldn't do that.
I'm still waiting for the name up in the 108 squad you spoke to.
You're bluffing. I learned more about you from that girly voice at the end of your vid than any of your rantings
I feel sorry for you, at the end of this, you will be broke, hated and maybe in jail.
Remember you brought this on yourself. When the heat comes down on all the other driver/ owners they will know it was you and the stupid comments like "Newcunt" and PETAtard that fueled it.
peeba76: Who is referring to your horses? Who can afford to have horses? I doubt that all carriage horses go to your farm to vacation.
Horses were not made to walk/run on concrete. It's obvious that you have lots of money and you think you can get away with your arrogance. I can see right through you ASSHOLE.
I come to the park on a fact finding mission and you immediately reveal yuorself. Wasn't hard to find you, I wasn't looking
Since I was working and you interfered the lawyers are mulling over whether to have you charged with a felony under the sheild laws. I said no, let him go.
Early on in you vid you see a gentleman turn around, maybe because you were causing public alarm with your shouting.
You made all the noise and came to me but you say I came roaring up like a bull.
So running the light with a carriage full of children at the crowded corner of 6th Ave and 59th St is OK?
Working these horses in 20 degrees until they sweat is OK?
On holidays racing back to pick up another load from the huge line is OK?
All in an unfriendly environment?
Working them in the rain until one day they finally bolt on the way back to the windowless tenement on Tenth Avenue they stick them like a machine, until time to do it again, 7 days a week?
just a questiong what in that video gives it the title "poor horses' what i see is well trained seasoned carriage horses with relaxed head carriage, ears moving to catch sounds and nice relaxed gait....where does the poor horses come in?
REALLY? Is that why one of the most respected equine vets in the country has spoken up for us, or the thousands of people who see our horses everyday and love them, or the many other HORSEMAN here on youtube who support us? Whatever.
This guy doesnt have a clue about our horses. Just another self important oaf with the need to involve himself in somthing which he knows nothing about.
WTF? I dont understand that comment. but, Im sure no one would. What Im saying is it is OBVIOUS to any outsider that you dont know anything about horses or how they live/work. Therefore, it only seems fair for you NOT to make dumb comments about them. Thats all Im saying. I see a lot of people like you in the city...youre all the same.
Have you ever seen the course these horses run? This is not the farm. It's dangerous on a bicycle, imagine a carriage. And these guys all run the light, dangerously.
All the ones I see that can't speak for themselves. This is an unhealthy environ for humans and horses can't speak for themselves.
I know they are beasts of burden and wouldn't say anything about them working for their keep, but I minister to the homeless in Central Park and I keep an eye out for those abused in one of the richest addresses in the world.
I feel sorry for these horses, no matter how well they are kept. It's a tough life and money is involved.
And the curve at 6th ave where the cabs honk an zoom past? They scare me on a bike, that's where this vid started.
Seen too many skittish horses in there. Even Parks Dept ones.
Lived in the woods for a long time, I see the animals in NYC aren't the same. The raccoons are fluffy and demanding, not like the beat up versions that live in the woods.
Brought in to keep out the rats, they have trouble finding food because the park is so clean
I have no problem with a horse earning it's keep, but this is cruel and boring for them. In an environment that that is frightening to me, imagine the poor horse getting honked and sirened at, all the while hearing but not seeing.
Those horses are kept like children, that's why the ASPAC has a permanent unit stationed there, right?
RadioReporter01: When I was an employee at the Arlington National Cemetery, I saw horses get spooked and bolt into headstones and memorials. Sometimes a horse would break a leg or legs and had to be shot and killed. Man has no business exploiting animals, no matter what kind they are.
The animals eat each other, so us exploiting them is natural. If there was some way to keep the carriages in the park and let the horses run free every night this could all be worked out.

I'd hate to see the carriages go because it is NYC, but there are the horses involved
Mounted, that's another problem, the NYPD. I've seen those horses all sweaty and tired and confused in crowd, traffic and riot situations. And then they wonder why they bolt.
During the Central Park Pumpkin Festival, I almost got hit by a couple of Parks Horses that didn't like being treated like a machine.
Does anyone do anything to help those animals? Those poor horses have no one to speak for them. Some people will do anything for money. I wonder if they get their proper exercise.

Mounted, that's another problem, the NYPD. I've seen those horses all sweaty and tired and confused in crowd, traffic and riot situations. And then they wonder why they bolt.
During the Central Park Pumpkin Festival, I almost got hit by a couple of Parks Horses that didn't like being treated like a machine.
It's not just the carriage trade.
I'm watching.

And as for the drivers...why dont you complain about the cabbies, bus drivers, pedicab drivers
Don't worry, I do. I'm not picking on the horse owners, just stating the facts

Propaganda. I watch those poor horses go round and round, especially on holidays where they are worked like machines.
They have to hold the carriage back going downhill and take sirens and car horns trhat make me jump without bolting.
Some are so depressed they can't hold up their heaqs anfd have to eat standing in urine.
Let's not talk about the foul mouthed drivers that run the lights and curse you for 2 blocks when they find you live here.
Abuse me, abuse the horses.

Does anyone do anything to help those animals? Those poor horses have no one to speak for them. Some people will do anything for money. I wonder if they get their proper exercise.

Yeah, they have people but they aren't as powerful as the mayor and the tourist office.
Exercise? They get too much exercise, they need a little TLC

When I stay exercise, I mean run. Horses were made to run and I don't mean on a race track.

They get plenty of exercise, what they need is some playtime.
No frolicking when holding back a heavy carriage with your body when going downhill by the Dakota

Will you join the crusade to get rid of the abuse?
