  • strap a metal rod in your face and let's see you work. don't think you'd like it. you'd beg someone to save you.

  • @greatbigbubby wtf are you on about?

  • @StopLiesSeeTruth i am just learning the other side of the horse carriage issue, the one the activists don't show. i don't see any abuses going on. the horses seem well cared for. i was commenting on the use of bits. as a vet associate i know the damage they do we can't see. horses can be controlled without those archaic devices. bits should have gone out with the iron maiden, corsettes and slavery. to each his own.

  • We kill animals because we are above them, yet killing animals for our own consumption seems so...... animal, doesn't it?

  • ALL PETA MINIONS ARE IDIOTS!!!

  • I think that there ARE people out there who work their horses for hoursss and then stick them in a little wooden stall that they can not move around it. BUT, not every carriage horse owner is like that. You take well care of your horses, but there are those people out there.

  • @cowgal58 All stalls in NYC ARE A MIN OF 8X10 BY LAW. NO HORSE WORKS MORE THAN 9 HOURS, BY LAW.

    Our horses and STABLES are monitored daily by the aspca,and regularly by the Health Dept,Consumer Affiars,NYPD,Parks Department, DEP. Each horse must get a full physical exam EVERY 6 MONTHS. Every horse gets a min of 5 WEEKS OFF A YEAR.So you are incorrect,"those people"are not our business.I should know I'm a carriage owner/operator,co-owner of Clinton Park Stables, I live on 108ac boarding ranch

  • @StopLiesSeeTruth Sorry. I did not know that :)

  • @StopLiesSeeTruth what an ironic name for such an ignorant parasite as yourself.

  • @fdnjkfasdjkl Need an outlet for your angst? Glad I could help. Feel better? .......I didnt think so.... you still are you when you wake up!

  • @fdnjkfasdjkl Ignorant?! I have forgotten more about horses than you will ever know!

    Parasite?! I bought my horses a 108ac ranch to live on, they live better than you do! Watch some of my videos and you'll wish you were one of my horses, although I don't usually look for the lame sorry assed ones like you. You may qualify for a "horses ass" if you try real hard.

  • Seems like this would be a good place to employ mounted police; it's not like the animal rights people are going to attack horses.

    Just saying

  • @Jeff24669 Nah, they would claim the police horses are being abused as well and start a protest against that. These people amuse me. Telling him to get a life. Ummmmm he's at work, you are harassing him... in HIS workplace. This takes into mind those posters you see. "Everyone is allowed a harassment free work enviroment!" Clearly they didn't get the memo and they talk about him not having a life. Them sitting on the street corner protesting innocent people is classified as having a life? Please

  • i got pissed off at them i tryed ta grab the camera of her and she told me to go back to ireland FUCK HER

  • It makes me upset that groups like PETA don't understand what the purpose of animals are. Not only for friendship and love, but for work and food as well. I love horses with all of my heart, I have seen abuse. Abuse is given from the people who have no love what so ever. You clearly love your horses just as much as I love mine.

  • Thank you for your common sence.

  • What's even more pitiful on New Year's Eve? exploiting an animal. Your days are numbered....hope you saved some of the money you earned, unemployment is immenent.

  • Shows how much you know, we are getting a fare crease in 2 weeks !!!!

    We won all the hearings in City Hall, we defeated the bill to ban us, we have shown the animal rights fascists to be liars and distorters of truth.

    So read it and weep, we win you lose.

    I hope your unemployment is immenent, my job is secure since 1862.

    Knownothing, evil minded MORON.

    OH and you lose.

    I hope it makes you real angry, and emotion YOU can rely on

    hee hee hee hee

  • your cool as hell dude. next time they harras you throw chease burgers at them from the doller menu

  • @StopLiesSeeTruth 1862. wake up and smell 2012. does ringbone mean anything to you?

  • animals dont celebrate holidays, anthromorphic much?

    Go protest all the restuants tomorrow surving "Tom" turkey !!

    moron

    ______yawn______

  • The proof of how the horses are treated can be seen in the vids posted by SLST

  • Comment removed

  • To finish my post: EVEN IF handlers were beating the horses out of sight, such as at the stables, it would SHOW in the horses.. they would roll their eyes, hold their heads high & away (dodging), jump, flinch, etc. whenever ANYONE came near them. These horses seem as calm as calm gets. Horses who are abused are NOT CALM ANIMALS when someone comes near! PETA ppl, get a clue! There are FAR WORSE abuses going on - go after the REAL ABUSERS, not some poor saps just trying to make a living! Sheez!

  • I have 1 question for the animal rights activists... ALL of them appear to have a camera in their hands. They constantly make the claim that drivers beat the horses and mistreat them... so with all those cameras in their hands.. why haven't they filmed a single incident yet to PROVE what they say?

    After watching DOZENS of videos abt this subject, I've concluded that the horses appear to be very well cared for. I know horses very well - those are NOT abused horses: they show NO FEAR of drivrs

  • i dont understand why people as harassing u, your horses are treated better than some people plus horses enjoy working

  • Human profit, does that apply to the restuants as well they profit from the sale of meat and fish?!?

    ALL DEAD ANIMALS !!

    Get real, looney toon.

  • you have GOt to be kidding me, right? OMFG. They just get nuttier and nuttier! HA!

  • You sound like that delgadorox one !

  • Lots of peope patronise PeTA, the animal killers !!!

    Some day soon that will stop.

    Fascist, Nazis

  • what about the stalls they stay in New York when they aren't pulling tourists?

    I've heard the conditions in the city are bad when they aren't working.

    I notice some horses aren't taking it when going down 7th ave. There's one in particular that looks like he's going to have a nervous breakdown. Also what would happen if we stopped the carraiges. would they just turn to glue? I'ts possible if PETA gets ahold of them right?

  • He has a video of the stalls, they are wonderful.

    Don't believe everything you hear, especially when it comes from a source that has to use so called 'undercover' video because they have never themselves been allowed in the stables.

    The horses are privately owned. I very much doubt that a single driver would allow their horse to wind up in PeTA's hands, where the would most certainly be labeled 'broken souls' and be unnecessarily put to sleep.

  • '"You've heard conditions are bad" ?!?!

    From WHO ?!?

    Other PETArds like yourself?

    What are you talking about "some horses aren't taking it" ?!?!

    What does that mean? Do you know ANYTHING about horses?

    They don't make glue from horses !!

    Watch my vids on the carriage horse stables and see cond. for yourself.

    As for your other statements, wow,

    What exactly does a horse look like having "a nervous breakdown"?

    Stop drinking the kool aid.

  • Stop listenig to fascists and watch some more vids. stalls auto water troughs, fans.........

  • Go to my channel see more.

  • THose horses shouldn't be in the city

  • That's quite an intellectual argument. Oh wait, intellectual conversation is what we have. You, on the other hand, appear to have a crush on environment polluting machinary. I can see how eco-friendly transportation would be upsetting to you.

    Maybe all those cars shouldn't be in the city. After all, I've never seen roadkill with hoof prints in it.

  • the horse's have brought fun and beauty to New York City but they're abused and its not a natural setting for them and yes i'm deeply in love with cars that pollute alot beacause unlike you i like living in a modern world. (and cars today can go 50+ miles per gallon)

  • REALLY? ABUSED? And just exactly what proof do you have of this...considering no one has EVER been ticketed for cruelty in over 100 yrs of service. N9ot to mention we have nmore regulations than day cares in this city and have 5 agencies overseeing our business...yet

    NO tickets. Hmmm/ Youd better do some research as to what your saying,

  • New York is dangerous for the horses, the horns honkin in their ears, i see people being cruel to them and messing with them. it makes me sick to see such beautiful animals being treated so badly. You see people being cruel to them every once in awhile and what does a ticket have to do with anything just becuase no ticket was issued doesn't mean that they're nor abused?! stupid. if they're so happy and treated so well why do you see so many people protesting against this?

  • NYC is dangerous for children and animals too, should we ban them too?

    Who are these 'people messing with the horses? The drivers? Or the customers? ASPCA would bust anyone who was mistreating a horse in a public place.

    Why are people protesting? That's a good question. I believe it's because some people need an imagined crusade to make themselves feel important. There aren't many professions where it's acceptable for protesters to shout obscenities at the customers.

  • We should ban children in NYC

    That would be AWESOME

  • So the police horses, the park ranger horses, the riding stables at chelsea piers, ALL ABUSED?!?

    Or are you just on the band wagon?

  • Many more people patronise us than protest us. Otherwisewe would be out of business.

    Where's your proof of abuse/

    I can prove my horses are happy. Are you objective or subjective?

    Also we are all teamster union members. Local 553 .The international brotherhood of teamsters does not support cruelty of any kind in any form. PERIOD.

    You may have been misled.

    Go to my channel and see our horses in the stable, at work, on the farm.

    See for yourself.

  • When you saw cruelty why didn't you call a cop?!?

    All you petards cry cruelty, none of you ever make a police report, why is that?!?

    BECAUSE YOU ARE LIARS.

    Your twisted minds see cruelty in every man- animal relationship.

    SICK.

  • Still giving your money to Peta, I am sooo sure they will do a good job with it.

    DID you know they collected over 30 million last year, and still killed over 2000 unwanted Pets.

    But i suppose it is very important to make adds about how vegetarians have sex with vegetables instead of finding homes for the pets.

    Peta and their view of animal rights?????,

    If you still dont follow what Peta stand for

    Please call Joaquin Phoenix spokes person for Peta.

  • People protest bc they are idiots and fascists, or they are too stupid to realize that PETA LIES. People protest this bc they have been misled and lied to, and they are too weak or too dumb to actually educate themselves on the issue firsthand. They are too lazy to do the proper research before opening their mouths. they protest bc they have psychological problems and they get their jollies by screaming at children and families in carriages. For the most part, they are SICK individuals.

  • Cars that get 50+ miles per gallon are still lethal weapons in the hands of an aggressive, or drunk, driver. How many people are killed in a day in car accidents? 114! A DAY! How many animals are killed? God only knows. How many are killed by horse drawn carriages? Ummm... maybe one a year?

  • New vid of the Mothers Day Protest on the way!!

  • Yay, exciting!

  • You want to know whats really pathetic? A person who doesnt believe how well the horses are treated even when smacked in the face with proof. Stoplies videos show it all. What do you think we made up the stable, or his farm or the rules we follow? Stupid animal rights activists. Too busy screaming at people to take in a little factual info on the subject.

  • Their just angry people. They are unhappy people who are taking it out on an easy target. Animal 'causes' are easy because the animals themselves can't take a stand and say how happy they are at their job. Know nothings tell other know nothings the horses are miserable and suddenly they all have a 'cause.'

  • exactly, animals unfortunately can't speak our tongue..

    yet, these horses look happy. Horses and Humans have a mutual relationship

    Horses need protection from predators and easy access to food, water and shelter

    man needed a method of transportation and companionship

    a match made in heaven.

  • What drivers? Im the only driver here! PS millions dont think the same twisted way you do...youre fooling yourself. We take btwn 500,000-700,000 people a yr for rides. The same amount that go up in the Empire state buiolding each yr.

    "anencephalic, mouth-breathing idiots who can't seem to string together an INTELLIGENT conversation or debate"

    Hmmm so this is intellegence? Riiight.

  • PS MANY of us own other businesses, and are very educated people. Including myself-I speak 3 languages, have been to over 30 countries, own many businesses, and have a degree. So, if you want to belive the crap your spewing...good for you. Ignorance is bliss!!!

  • And how many horses do you take care of in a day, hmm? How many years have you been working with horses? How many vet bills, farrier bills, feed bill, hay bills do you pay in a year? And how do you KNOW the truth, huh? Have you walked throught the carriage horse stables? Visited the farms where they vacation? Or did you get all your information from someone else's so called "proof," PETA maybe? Never mind that PETA has been caught in lies and half truths before.

  • I am sick to death of hearing the rhetoric you people spew out about those of us who KNOW THE TRUTH about the abuse and cruelty inflicted on these horses from their living conditions, to the fact that they end up with lung disorders from breathing exhaust all of the time. Tell me....where is the field where your horses get to run every day? Where is the stall where they can actuall LIE DOWN as horses are meant to do in order to truly sleep?

  • Ummm. I HAVE TWO vvideos of the box stalls in our state of the art stable, and many more of the farms where they go...including hoof numbers, so nuts like you cant say were lying. why dont you take a look instead of saying such IGNORANT things? Wheres the "abuse"? Where are the pictures, videos and evidence of such? where are the tickets for animal cruelty? There are NONE!

  • And Im sick to death of PETArds like you repeating outrageous and untrue claims about our horses and the way they live. If you dont want to see the truth, thats fine, but dont keep repeating stupid things that are obviously untrue.

  • How nice that perhaps ONE of the MANY owners has a place where the horses can lie down. The vast majority...no way. Do they go to the farms every day to run? Or do they spend every night in the stalls? Do your horses never pull the carriages in traffic with exhaust fumes, sirens, blasting horns, snow, ice, rain? Do you have "magic horses" that avoid all of that? By the way.....I have nothing to do with PETA. Not that it matters.

  • Even on a farm, the horses would spend the night in a stall. And if they didn't they'd get snowed and rained on, which you just villified.

  • watch my videos and see the horses lying down . ALL our horses are rotated to farms in New Jersey,and Pennsylvania. They breath the same air as the police horses and the rest of us. Going thru life as a myopic, opininated, moron is not a good idea.

    WAKE UP!

  • All I can say is....Ignorance knows no boundaries. Alcoholics? Shows what kind of a person YOU are.

  • i like you

  • "Get a real job!!!" -sugar2th

    What, pray tell, is a "real job"? One that locks people in little cubicles and chains them to computers doing mindnumbing, meaningless tasks for virtual pixels that may or may not represent real or virtual "money"? Drudgery?

    Or is a real job one where you can feel the sun on your skin and the breeze in your face and touch and smell 2000 lbs of horseflesh you're working in partnership with? Where you meet people from all over the world? Real job!

  • Here's one for ya'll. Al ot of petards are veggies, or so they are quick to say!

    The biggest pest in a soy bean field are mice. If the mice had there way, there would be no soy left! So what is done? They poison the mice by the millions across the country, billions for sure across the world. Never mind the other critters, squirrels, groundhogs, birds........

    Billions die for their soy "burger"

    Whats the difference when a cow dies for my beef "burger"

    Such rightous hyppocrites!!

  • Right on!

  • what can I say. Youre into horses or you are not. To stand on the street and scream abuse at a horseman you don't know is beyond reprehensable. It shows a lack of knowladge and a myopic view of the world. I have forgotten more than any petard will ever know on working drafts and cross breds in an Urban setting. My horses live better lives than any of the worlds starving children!

    How weird it would be for a starving child in Bangladesh or India to observe this debate! REALITY CHECK!

  • the subject of "horses" is a vast one. Any one who says they know "all about horses" is full of it. Race horses: thorobred, standard bred, quarter horses they all race. An expert in one is not an expert in the other. Reining, dressage, roping. All disiplines performed in a ring, again the expert in one is not in the other.

    Heavy drafts to minis to polo ponies. Ackel Teks , Connemaras, Arabians, Sufolk Puch. there are over 200 breeds bred over 7000 years.

  • As some one who has been around horses all my life , as a horse farm owner, and carriage owner I must say my horses are as willing to get in the trailer to go to the city as they are to go to the farm! As long as they are with me we are all happy. Are the police horses yearning for the meadow, no. They have a routine as do our horses. They are eager for that routine every day. Horses are routine animals, but it's impossible to impart a lifetime of knowladge of working horses like this

  • You are absolutely right. When I worked for a private carriage operation, not a commercial one, my horses used to load themselves onto the trailer. I'd walk them up to the van or the trailer and let go, and they'd get into the van or the trailer on their own. They loved their work. They loved being around people and out seeing places and action. They'd even turn around and back into the correct stall on the van on their own.

  • Watch my videos. Horses have been in cities with man since the begining. Every city in the world had horses on the streets less than a centuary ago. The pidgeons on 59th street can go anywhere theylike, yet they are here in NYC along with my horses and me!

    By the way who pays the property taxes on this meadow? There is no utopia here my niave friend

  • Don't you think the city is a very unnatural place for a horse to be, though? I mean, give a horse a peaceful meadow or a bustling city street, which would the horse rather be in? You choose.

  • No. horses built cities and have been working in cities since the Romans. They have worked along side cars for over 100 years and EVCERY carriage horse oges to farm for vacation several times a yr. Watch my other videos, you will see our farm. Horses are bred and domesticated to do what they do. Its kind of like saying, wouldnt your dog rather be in the country than nyc, running with a pack? Horses are dowmesticated and can acclimate to a miriade of enviroments.

  • Yeah..you don't have to thumbs me down though. You might not agree with me but at least realize I'm listening to you with open ears . Geez. I saw your other videos, I'm just trying to understand this whole issue that's why I'm asking questions. Thanks for the response.

  • Im not giving you any thumbs. I dont do that to my own vids. They speak for themselves.

  • I believe the horses get both, don't they? They get their time off in a meadow, but they also get to do what they love to do, which is be around people doing a job.

    I've seen carriage horses throw their heads through their collars and into to their bridles because they're so eager to go out to work.

    My equine coworkers come when you call them, which can't be said of many riding horses.

    Draft horses were bred by farmers who literally lived under the same roof with them.

  • Uhm, I think you may be harassing the public as well, with your loud barking.. I do agree however that some activists may be rude to passerbys (being one myself, not against carriage horses though, but against wearing fur) I have heard some awful slurs. A good activist is inviting, not intimidating or hostile. I like to educate others, not scare them away!

  • We wer verbally bashed for 3 hourse that day....you tell me what you would do. And did you see the PIX 11 news report of the lady calling children in the carriage assholes? THAT is why I was so angry! She made them cry, for Gods sake.

  • Yeah, that's terrible. There are good activists and then there are bad activists. Unfortunately the bad activists draw all the attention.

  • Even the "good activists" tend to be misguided on this issue.

    The activism the carriage horses in NYC need is activism to disabuse people of the lies that the radical animal rights activists have spread for years.

    So, I guess StopLiesSeeTruth and nyccarriagehorses are the REAL activists and advocates for the carriage horses in NYC!

  • Where are the police in all this?

  • no, harrassing them would only make them fight harder. you grow close to the time when they can be ignored completely. as soon as the the ban is discarded, and you get your raise!!!

  • They should be harassed back. Confronted they would retreat into the holes they slitherd out of..

  • Thats a great video,how sad and lonely the 5 extremists look!

  • Five, pathetic morons with nothing else to do but hassle the drivers of well fed, and loved horses. Get a life, you imbeciles. Seriously, FIVE? Pfft. Great turnout. Oh, btw...great to see you again Roxanne!!!! Nice brown jacket.
