  • At 5:51 -- you and another carriage are side by side (maybe 8-10 feet apart) when several bicyclists ride right between the two carriages! But the horses barely wiggle their ears and you hardly notice either, indicating that this is not an uncommon occurance. I would have jumped right out of my skin, and no doubt commented in a fashion requiring editing! :-) Kind blows that whole "easily spooked" thing the animal rights wackos try to pawn off on the ignorant, eh?!?

  • Geez, the horse and carriage business puts people to work and adds to the character of NYC. It makes horses a bit practical and let's people learn how they were used. To work with a horse demonstrates our relationship with animals and it increases our awareness of them and their needs. To shut down the horse and carriage thing is to further remove people from animals, what they're really like and how we work with them.

  • Animal welfare is big business that's the truth regarding the ASPCA, PETA , its gives otherwise ''useless'' people employment, when in fact they would be on welfare!

    The first thing i'm gonna do when I visit NYC is take a carriage ride with my family! god bless you guys and your horses!

  • Good thing you posted these vids. I was hearing so much complaining from animal rights people that I was starting to believe them.

  • @getsomeyeah their entire policy is to tell as many lies and innuendo as possible, thanks for your comment

  • you are just a bunch of guys and gals working very hard making a living why are these people harassing you.. they are putting animals lives infront of people lives they need to be taught a lesson....

  • I just discovered your vids and am wanting to know if u are planning on posting more. I was here doing some harness/buggy/driving research and found u. I saw a few more of ur vids and have decided to give u my support. u are genuine about ur caring for ur horses. I would just like to see more vids to see if u are still 'abusing' ur horses. Actually, I would like to see Feinian(?) again. take care

  • WAY TO GO! These people need to understand things before they jump to INSANE conclusions. These horses are probably treated better than they are. Maybe they should LEARN something about it before they make conclusions that are untrue. PUT YOUR HEADS ON STRAIGHT AND REALIZE THINGS! These horses are treated with the utmost care and respect. PETA needs to look into some things before they jump to conclusions that are untrue!

  • FUCK PETA!!!

  • ASPCA isn't nearly as bad as PETA.

  • I've noticed the ASPCA likes to demonstrate their bloated, over-inflated ego, in the form of cars modified to look like cop cars. "Hey look guys, I have some very, very, very minor authority, I'm going to act like a pretentious douche, nevermind the fact that I'm not competent enough to be on an actual police officer or keeper of the peace"

  • @scourfish Wwll put, the aspca are a perfect example of how quasi-gov agencies abuse their power. Did you know they are armed?

  • Wisconsin's largest farm group has plenty of issues on its plate, but few things invoke anger more than the Humane Society of the United States - an organization that farmers say wants to eliminate animal agriculture.

    J.P. Goodwin, formerly with Animal Liberation Front, now coordinates Humane Society of the U.S.

    I liken them to wolves in sheep's clothing, Bruins said. "They will go undercover and wait for a worst-case-scenario on a farm, videotape it, and then pretend that it's normal activity

  • These are more than just "lies". The word "lie" is an understatement. These people are promoting pure hatred against you. They are emotionally attached to animals. Their emotional attachement drives them to promote their special brand of hatred. YOU are an animal abuser and that is what they want the world to know. They need to be confronted with violence.

  • did they ever write a similar law requiring pedicabs to stop work at 90 degrees?

  • good job, keep defending yourself.your horse is only walking with a carraige on wheels which pull very easy. it is not a 14 inch garden plow with dead pull and friction like an amish horse .plowing for 10 hrs per day.

  • "theyre against us as well". Funny, I thought that someone who loves horses and makes a living from them would want an organization that makes sure laws that are in place for the PROTECTION of YOUR animal are sought out. Obviously there has been issues @ some point or y wouId the Iaw exist? That's Iike saying you don't know why unions exist; obviously there was a need for them to protect workers. If animals are working why shouldn't laws protect them as well??

  • @namasteinautumn We are all members of the teamsters union, who came to help us when our rightts as business owners were being abused by so called animal rights groups. You are talking about something of which you have no knowladge.

  • I certainly agree that proper treatment and care for animals is the right thing to do, but the Animal Rights organizations use any animal use as a reason to create controversy and a conflict. The AR is hypocritical because they use animals to promote themselves, not themselves to promote for the cause of truly abused animals.

  • I have worked outside in hotter temperatures then 90 no-one stopped me. I don't live in the USA or know much about your health and safety rules as we call them in Europe. I thought the rules for humans were stupid here but It sounds like that is even more extreme rule then we have for humans!

    As far as I know there are no rules in the UK about using horses above certain temperatures.

    Our RSPCA only will bother people if they neglect their animals or leave dead animals around your property.

  • I love aspca and what they do and hope they continue to do their job, I can't say anything good about the carriage horse part though. And I am totally with you on peta! They are probably the biggest morons around! I'll give you a HELL YEAH! You keep doing what your doing! We just had a big controversy with a carriage horse bussiness and sadly the owners lost their horses due to it. Your horses look very fat and happy and healthy! Btw I love his name!! Very cute!

  • You also mentioned fascism and youre right. Fascism infects our nation from the federal government down to local city governments. Your local government is probably in bed with the AR organizations for their campaign donations.

  • You got that right, fortunately only the lamest of the lame have taken that bait. Tony Avella for example. Strange as it seems all the pols against us over the years have had short lived careers, Mayor Dinkins, Bob Dryfoos, Avella, whereas the ones on our side, Mayor Guiliani, Mayor Bloomberg, Mayor Koch, have had fantastic careers.

    Go figure.

  • @StopLiesSeeTruth

    Hey. Craig here from previous comments.

    Why have there been no newer videos than 6months? Have their been any further updates regarding the twats ARightsA's?

  • @CraiG10021

    We won a fare increase in city hall...44-3. It was a landslide. the AR's LOST big time and they are REALLY pissed. Its HILARIOUS! VINDICATION!

  • How do you guys make a living with these idiots using you for publicity stunts? 90 degrees is no hotter for a horse to work in than it is for a Human to work in. Those horses werent working hard at all given what theyre capable of and they are obviously healthy. A horses natural habitat is out in the weather, no matter hot or cold, wet or dry. They werent born with a barn over their heads in nature.

  • Thanks for the video.

    I had a great carriage ride, when I visited NYC.

    Those protesters stand there and say that junk, while wearing clothes made in sweatshops. What about the ethical treatment of people?

    What about the right to operate my business in any way I want, as long as, I'm not hurting people. Because where does it end? what about the gazillions of poor fish humans catch, kill, and eat? Yum, yum.

  • Great video, and it does help to put your voice out there as well.

    When I visited NYC, I had a carriage ride and it made my visit much more enjoyable!

    Strange how those protesters can say stuff about animals, while they wear clothes made by people working in sweatshops. I don't see them lined up outside Wal-Mart.

  • pickle is that your horses name

  • This one is "Pickles" !

  • FUCK Peta and the ASPCA of NY!

    I live across the ASPCA building and their college grad volunteer/workers spend all fucking morning strolling around with those dogs and cats who defecate other people's sidewalks. They do nothing to clean after the dump thats left. Fuck these Zoophiliacs!

  • hi luv ur vids by the way sorry to get off topic but do u have a slight irish accent i hear it some times

  • I spent my childhood, in part, in Co. Donegal.

    Thanks, glad you like the vids :)

  • oh i live in co dublin

  • I am a 16 year old male who is from Scotland. I went to the wonderfull City of New York in February as my birthday present, I had been waiting for years as I was fascinated with 9/11 Attacks. During my 1 week stay with my family, we went on a carriage ride around Central Park, and I have to say it was so amazing. The horses looked healthy, "happy" and was drinking a-lot of water at every stop I saw.

    Horseriding is no different than having a dog- nothing is wrong with it, humans best friend. x

  • Thaks for your comment and your patronage !!

  • *round of applause* THANK YOU for this ... I am not a carraige driver but I am a horse owner. I've been keeping up with all that's been going on and all I can say is BS! I might have to just take a trip to NY just to give you a round of applause in person!

  • Thank you very much, I have other vids showing our stables and my farm where some of our horses get breaks.

    I'm just trying to show the truth in a small way to combat the mountain of utter BS, out there.

    Thanks for your support, today it's our horses, tomorrow it could be your horse under attack, the petaRDS want to seperate us from our animals.

    They want to 'save' them, by euthinizing them, as they do with 90% of the "saved".

    Thanks again

  • I love this good for you! shut those idiots up. Horses enjoy the attention and being able to WORK! Good for you!!

  • Thanks for your kind words.

  • The aspca collect a LOT of money and have been doing so for many years to "save the carriage horses". Where does all that money go?

    Can it be accounted for?

    Does anyone care that the aspca is collecting funds for a task they don't seem able to do?

    Eventhough they are one of the policing agencies that enforce the carriage regulations and laws

    It's sound like a cash cow to me for the aspca. Keep claiming abuses, never find any, but use a good ad agency and buddy up to peta

    i smell fish.

  • The carriages at Central Park are the most beautiful, well run carriage business in the world. When you think of a carriage ride, the ride at Central Park

  • We wouldn't be able to ride June-August if they had rules like that in Oklahoma for riding in general. The average horse handles the heat fine, although performance horses are given electrolytes to prevent the possibility of dehydration. Some people prefer their horses in stalls with fans and misters, while others toss their horses outside with only trees for shade. They get sweaty, but that's their natural air conditioning system.

  • We had a wonderful ride in the park and the driver had such a cute Irish accent who gave my grandchild an apple to give to the horse. It was so emjoyable. I am not sure what the fuss is all about. The horse looked big strong and healthy.

  • I dunno either. They look fine to me! Very beautiful!

  • I am a NJ carriage driver/ owner- and i don't drive or ride the horses in heat much over 80 degrees. On hot days I will only exercise the horses lightly in the early morning hours or evening hours if it cools off. Race horses are on the track exercising at 4am in the morning before the heat- but i don't agree with them racing the horses in heat- it's just wrong! I have pulled my own horses out of 3 day combined driving events due to the heat- (even when i was winning).

  • Only problem I see with this video is all those cars and giant buildings. Horses were domesticated for this kind of stuff.

  • You wanna se the police horses in Times Square on a Saterday Night .

    or how about the charge of the light brigade

  • If that's a question, then my answer is sure.

  • the cars being sooo close would make me so paranoid! I know the cars gettin as clsoe as soem did there would royaly piss me off yall must have the patience of a saint!

  • Wow i cant believe that ASPCA is against carriage horses . They and PETA are going to make it difficult for me to get my shelter started. The only thing that is going to different from my shelter and theres is that I go after REAL abuse not nonesense such as this. Also I plan to do work for people as well. So when that time comes please support it. :)

  • milliesos, now that the NFL season is officially underway, don't you think your energies would be put to better use by taking yourself off to Philly and protesting outside an Eagles' game?

    I mean if cruelty against animals truly concerns you, why not take the time to damn someone who's, like, actually committed that offense? Or the team that just awarded a convicted dog killer with a million dollar deal?

    Plus, you'd be doing me a huge favor. I'm a Giants fan and hate the fucking Eagles.

  • I was in NYC a few days ago. I came to central park to see if I could find you and shake your hand. I know what you look like due to seeing you on a petard video. But alas I didn't notice where you were. Next time hopefully I will get to shake the hand of the man that stands up to those stupid idiots who try to harass you.

  • Sorry I missed you. see you next time:)!!!

  • Dear milliesos,

    You need to actually ssee our horses for yourself, instead of taking other peoples biased word for it. NYC is full of petards who would come down on you for riding a horse just as hard as they come down on us for driving one. i dont criticize your love of horseback riding, shoe jumping, dressage or any other eqauine activity you may chose. so why do y9ou do that to me? It shows pure ignorance on your part. Please do your OWN research before villifying me.

  • I dont disagree with driving seen as i do it myself, but why do you insisted on taking them into the traffic?

  • Because there is no where else to take them, there is traffic everywhere; havent you noticed ?

  • i ride 6 horses a day

    3 are mine one is my 10 year old brothers any others are owned by friends and schooled/shown produced by my self, and i urn a living from it.

  • You earn a living from it ?

  • yep i sure do6 days a week 6 horses a day

    and just spent 10 weeks working in america doing the same thing there as i do on the stud farm hear. I groom at shows, i ride and produce youngstock. Buy and sell......

    I do also have another part time job.

  • 6 horses a day huh ? So you got no time to make a relationship with each horse, its just a slave. so you ride &groom , produce youngstock; in other words you produce slaves for resale and do not make a long term relatio0nship with a

    horse , unlike the carriage drivers shiown in this video who keep their horses for many years and create a working relationship with them.

  • mate i own and ride my own horses every day BEFORE I GO ANY WHERE.

    I have owned my 4 and a half year old welsh cob mare since she was 4 months old.

    Got my other as a 2 year old now 4

    take a look at my vids hun.

    Yep i never spend time with my horses.

    Yer sure slaves my horses wouldnt no hard work if it smacked them in the head.

  • Maybe then hun, you should take a REAL look at these people in NYC who are no different from you and are treating their horses no different from you. Grow up and tell the difference betwen propoganda and real life.

  • i dont see cars in the park

    whats wrong with a HORSE BOX!!!!

    thats a lot safer for the poor animals made to walk in such stupid amount of traffic

    any way i have said my part couldnt care less what you have to say love.. go tie your colt to the gate....(very safe..shows how much you no love)

  • on another vidoe it was a carrige horse is lucky to be on the streets 8 months

    where does all the dog food come from

    The states have the biggest amount of horses going to the sales to be sold for food. Packed into cow trucks die on the way to being killed.

    Yep theres a lot of love there.

    I dont buy and sell i ride then they get sold on infact we sold a very nice 6 year old last weeks for £7,250

    Yep we dont own mules we produce proper HOYS horses.

    And we dont tie them to GATES

  • where does all the dog food come from

    It comes from your fucking stupidity . Look it up on google 'tard, you'll learn something; look up Iams vivisection, that'll larn yah !

  • If you bothered your ass looking up FACTS instead of believing evey lie Roxanne throws at you, youd see I still own EVERy horse Ive ever had in this city. They are at my 108 acre farm. I would block you...only your stupidity speaks for itself, and it makes you and the rest of your cohorts true colors shine very brightly for the rest of us rational folks to see!

  • I own two welsh cobs a arab and a tb of course i know the differents between a draft type horse to a fine horse is. You are not ment to see BONES on any breed of horse.

    Why do you go out onto the roads? whats wrong with staying in the park?

    Why do you risk the life of your horse and others?

  • First WHERE did you see bones? We are inspected by 5 agencies over 1,000 times per yr! FACT. Everything I say can be proven. Our horses live in stables on the West side. where all horses have been stabled for centuries. They have to get to the park. Its about 1 mile. The police mounted horses are further away and work in the same traffic. Do you think they are cruel? Our horses were TRAINED to do this. They are on the roads with the Amish. Thats where we get our horses. Its not cruel.

  • Bones ? My god you saw bones ? Where ? What is wrong with staying in the park ? Why nothing at all, except the horses dont LIVE in the park, they have to walk there . Why do you own 4 horses ? Can you ride all 4 at once or are you running a business ?

  • Riding a horse in unnatural full stop!! but blasting them around and around with a heavy load on there backs with no boots to cushion the blows that these POOR abused horses have to endure, and then forcing them to stand in tiny stalls with no free roaming or time to chill out and be a WILD ANIMAL.

    you don't seam to argue your case very well OLD MAN, you think your so high and mighty up there on your high horse, but you don't seam to have the knowledge in that thick skull of yours.

  • You are extremely ignorant about our business...that comment shows that! First, ALL of our horses get many vacations on farms to roam freely every yr. ALL of our horses have box stalls in which they can lay down, turn around, and roll over in. Our horses dont CARRY loads, they pull them...scientifically proven to bbe easier than holding a rider. FACTS. Our horseds have speciallized shoes with silcon gel and padding mad for walking on asphalt....horses have been doing this since the ROMANS!

  • cantering and galloping in traffic such as the traffic these poor horses have to endure every day? Since the romans? i really find that hard to believe.

  • We dont canter or gallop! Where have you seen this?!

  • Abused? I think not. Our horses get vet and dental care, shoeing, box stalls, vacations, retirement, love and affection! Why dont you worry about all the horses that are ABUSED and STARVED or left to raom free and die bc their owner cant afford to feed them! You are an imbecile. Watch my videos. I address every single misleading thing you just put forth. I allowed you to speak freely about my horses, even when you were wrong. But, calling me ABUSIVe is stepping over the line.

  • keep talking. each new comment is showing how LITTLe you know of my business. Yet, youre willing to open your gob about it? Unbelievable!

  • just look it up, its all hear on youtube.

    Why do you think its baned in nearly every other city? BECAUSE ITS DOWN RIGHT HORRID.

    You say these horses are loved when most of them look emaciated and in poor heath.

    They stand in the heat all day with no shade, they walk-trot and canter on hard floor PULLING a heavy load day after day. That is what i call UNBELIEVABLE!

    You "allowed me to speak" Mate I can say what ever i like, you put this vid up so take the comments like a man.

  • So, you take those petards horrible, unverified slanderous accusations as truth?!

    Its NOT banned in nearly every city...Look up CONE...its in hundereds of cities in the Us. And in almost every major European city! What CRAP. Emaciated? The city vet has issued warnings that our horses are OVERWIEGHT! do you know the difference btwn a draft horse and a standardbred?! They dont TROT! They are in centrasl PArk..there are thousands of TREES. We stop at 89 degrees. Youre so ignorant it baffles me!!!

  • Poor health?! OMG> Have you ever even been to central Park. You are3 telling me Im cruel from accross the ocean, bc you have heard something from someone you dontknow in another country. You are unbelievable and down right stupid. You dont know anything about my business. PS

    Its more difficult for a horse to carry a rider than to pull a wagon. FACTS. Do some research instead of believing everything you hear.

  • Wow...before you go using PETA'S ads as "fact", you should really learn how to spell...

    And "heavy load"? Horses are fully capable of pulling much more heavier things than carriages. Ever seen people using horses to uproot a stump? That's even harder for a horse to do than pull a "heavy" carriage.

  • I will be waiting for your abusive reply, seen as that's your way of convincing people that you are right and we are in the wrong. My 4 year old brother has better vocabulary than you.

    Please compose your self like an adult before you reply, no amount of abusive text with convince me any different to my own views on this so called "tradition" Wink Wink.

  • Who says you deserve a relpy ??

    GFY

  • Act your age not your shoe size.

    If you cant reply like a adult then don't reply at all.

    You must think i deserve a reply seen as that's what you have just done.

  • Youre the definition of petarded. You thinks its a ok to jump horses, but hook them to a carriage and THATS abuse. Youre a moron. End of story.

  • Yes it is abuse. A horse leaps and jumps in the wild of course its unnatural to jump or even ride a horse even you should no that.

    Do you think trotting, cantering and galloping a horse with a cart along rock hard tarmac in traffic as terrifying as that is any better than jumping a horse over little jumps?

    Like you said "hook them to a carriage" .

  • Horses don't walk in the wild? You are being stupid.. Obviously this guy cares about his animal so leave him be yo loser.. I'm a New Yorker and them horses are trated better then most of NYC's Citizen's...

  • I dont see a problem with horse carraiges in new york. First of all horses helped us for years and they still do today. And you dont seem to beat your animals. Your horses are beautiful and it looks like you take care of them to. Good luck

  • Thanks for the good wishes.

  • what do horses do for us today?

    this is cruel.

    I went to new york city in july and i had an amazing time knowing i never helped fuel this cruel cruel way of life for these poor horses.

    Mate looking at your rather childish reply's shows how much growing up you still have to do, and your voice sounds old so where did your manners go?

    Did your mother never teach you to act your age and reply like an adult?

  • Was that ol' Anne Marie Lucas by the ASPCA car? I admire her for what she does in dog/cat abuse cases, but she's IGNORANT when it comes to horses.

  • Boy have you got that right. And, no its not her, They dont send her out to deal with us anymore.....They even realize shes too clueless to be out there. Not that any of the other ones know much more! One officer told me my horse had cancer.... He thought the chestnuts were cancerous growths! I had to explain what they were and shoed him ALL horses have them! Idiot.

  • Gawd...

    I had to 'splain to AC once what an overheating horse looked like. Hint: It's not a sweating horse...it's a horse that's stopped sweating! (Just like humans and heatstroke!)

    We got sent in in Philly before the temp cutoff because "too many people were calling."

  • My 7 year old knows what chestnuts are.

  • Heat for horses isn't as bad as heat is for people, but the PETA people don't seem to realize this. Horses aren't raised in the AC from the time they are foals, they have evolved to be able to deal with these sort of weather conditions. But the PETArds who watch a video of a horse sweating immediately cry "ZOMG POOR HORSE", and raise a fuss. You'd think they'd find something better to do with their time.

  • Why dont u fat lazy twats get off your big arses and walk yourselves! you use horses cos your so fucking lazy! your repulsive.

    WE LOVE U PETA!

  • First of all we are not fat, I'm 6' 2' and weigh 200lbs, and would kick your ass, you FASCIST MORON!

    Do olymic show jumpers use hosres 'cause they are to lazy to jump the jumps themselves ?!?!!

    Your a myopic moron !!

    All peta does is KILL ANIMALS 87% of the ones they "save"

    Your'e a know nothing GHOUL !

    peta are FACSISTS !!

  • That fat -ass German bred queen of yours has HER FAT ASS pulled in a carriage, a carriage stolen from Ireland by the way, so spew your venom to that bitch.

    Ha ha LMAO.

    Knonothing PeTARD !!! AH HA HA HAHA HA HA

  • Why dont you fat lazy AR twats get off your big asses and walk yourselves! You use "cars" cuz you're so fucking lazy! YOUR repulsive!

    PETA: People for the Euthanasia of Treatable Animals.

  • I bet the fact that you have to stop working (and earning ) because of weather conditions on a regular basis probably isn't taken into account when people assess your earnings are they ?

    The heat , pollution and humidity of NY is nothing like that of Beijing, where the Equestrian Olympics are still going ahead yet no-one there is accusing anyone of abuse , perhaps because there's no profit to be made from it ? keep up the good work.

  • yeah my horses have no issues working a a slow pace walk/trot in the heat... as long as water is provided all its fine... your horses look all to be in wonderful condition so i don't get it but whatever some people just will never understand... sorry but those people a just full of you know what!! best of luck!!!

  • Abuse of an animal is not something you can hide. It shows on the animal, and through the animals behavior. Beaten, neglected, starving, or otherwise injured animals do NOT behave properly, nor do they usually remain social and trusting of people.

    There are many ways to *know* abuse of any kind is happening. The idiots screaming abuse on your carriage horses don't even know equine basics, for Frith's sake.

    More power to you! Keep up the good work! Fat, happy horses FTW!

  • Someone has read Watership Down, I think.

  • i went riding today, it got over 100 degrees today and my fat little quarter horse named luke did just fine! i was in new york last week, went on a 40 minute ride around central park with my grandmother, pretty bay horse named Rebecca

  • You should be nasty as hell to them. If someone were telling me that I was abusive, i'd flip out on them. These carriage horses are happy and healthy, its probably kinda like an all day trail ride for them :)
