Poor Poor Central Park Carriage Horses

These poor animals have to go around and around and around day after day as if they were machines. They've worn a groove into the pavement.

It is very cruel and they don't look happy. The owners are very nasty when they find out you don't want a ride.

Imagine how they treat the horses

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

@coorscowgirl101

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 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

He gets a headache reading my comments but he then makes a run on paragraph that will certainly be a problem for most intelligent people to decipher.

What a clown!

Dude, what the hell? Why do you comment on your own videos?

There are grooves because horses have been waking here for years, just like on old streets with indentations from tires on the pavement.

Obviously you know nothing about horses. I've owned for years, and these horses do not look "abused" or "unhappy".

Hey, if yo really cared abot the horses, WORK IN A STABLE, ROFL!!!

"It is very cruel and they don't look happy." Well, maybe they don't look happy, becasue, umm, hmm, IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO SMILE!?

[Blahb27]

@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.

@Crickettedog

You can tell when an animal is in distress. What? I have to have a horse tell me in English it's not feeling right?

[Crickettedog]

@FrontalTraction You are a nerd. Who said anything about smiling.I can read body language. Horses have ways to express themselves.

[Kishwick]

@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.

[GoatBlaat]

@FrontalTraction Maybe you should learn the body language of a horse a bit more.

[coorscowgirl101]

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

[coorscowgirl101]

@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.

[FrontalTraction]

@RadioReporter01 Replying to year old comments is also stupid.
