Please. You dont have a clue. Our horses are loved and very well cared for. Broken souls? Dont make me laugh. My horses are very happy. And yes, we all have at least two horses. They are rotated throughout the yr to farms. Maybe you should do more research into the subject first, instead of opening your mouth about something you obviuosly know noting about.

Well said!  And all true. I can attest to that from personal experience.

A valuable horse like this receives tremendous care and the owner is unlikely to push him past his limits of fitness and patience. Unlike grass, most feeds won't clump up around a bit, so it really isn't a big deal. Horses are made to eat almost non-stop, so I'm glad to see him getting a snack while working. It's better than feeding them two big meals.

All the people I know who own carriage horses treat them like members of the family. They all have had the experience of stying up all night with a sick animal. The pepople who hand out literature on the streets accusing carriage drivers of abusing the animals are simply slandering decent people. Yes, the horse in the video may have had a long day, but I can state without reservation that it was well acred for.

Poor guy.. He looks tired!

[emmfc]

I agree. I shot this at about midnight and who knows how long the animal spent on the streets. I understand that the City places limits on the hours, but we also have speed limits and laws against bank robbery - but they do get broken, yes?

Broken soul? He's tossing his collar, looking around, and eating fairly enthusiastically even though he doesn't look like he's missed too many meals. He looks like a normal, happy, working horse to me. I agree that many of the NYC horses are broken down and need retirement, but this is not one of them.

@banknownothings Truefully being a horse owner myself I think the horses much rather do this then being stuck in a stall all day like other performance horses.

Now here I was telling peeba76 something before that account got suspended.

[RadioReporter01]

Right, like they don't realize you've erased all the comments I was answering. Just how stupid are you?

Somebody keeps giving a thumbs down to all the comments.

Seems like somebody is fighting hard to keep the truth from being heard.

[RadioReporter01]

Laugh all you want. I'm serious

[RadioReporter01]

I'm tired of people like you telling me I must leave my city because I object to others bad conduct.

Between thinking up insults like Radioratcatcher and Radioretard and the 11,000 vids I guess you have no time to actually contribute to YT.

If you've ever been hit by a car you'd see it was a huge problem.

[RadioReporter01]

So you are joining the insult parade I see. Just upping the total because in less than 24 hours, I have been called many names.

I will make a list to show how the horse people conduct themselves.

I see you've watched more than 11,000 vids but contributed none of your own. I guess your specialty is insults....

[RadioReporter01]

Don't feel sorry for me, feel sorry for the horses in Horse Hell and Horse Jail

And I was born here and have lived here long before any of you, back when it was "Fun City"

Now it's "His Royal Highness's Kingdom."

[RadioReporter01]

You have a disrespect for the law and the truth.

You also have a reputation for attacking people which is how you brought me into the picture.

I almost get killed because one of the drivers doesn't know how to drive and you confront me when I ask him to correct his bad driving.

You were the one shouting. I think the quote was "Check You Tube tonight" but I'm still not seeing it.

And I didn't demand any license, I asked if you gave receipts.

You have the vid, post it.

Insult away my friend, it only makes my case
