Horse of a Different Color - Brian Gari

I wrote this song some years ago about the plight of carriage horses in NYC. It is available on my CD entitled Previously Unreleased at BrianGari.com. I am grateful to Jeff Olmsted for the great work on the track.

Every once in awhile amazing videos surface here. I'm one of many AR's in Kansas City working to have these stopped here and this video will be so helpful if I may post it on facebook and possibly submit to a news publication here. They have been suspended several times on animal cruelty violations and the Health Dept. There needs to be a permanent end to this horrific cruelty.

What a beautiful song and such a sad video! I was in NYC yesterday and was going to have lunch at Sarabeth's. It's a terrific place, but, it's directly across from Central Park & I can't look at those poor creatures without wanting to let all of them go! It's clear they are so unhappy, their heads are hanging down and when they do look at you, their eyes are so sad, pleading, almost for help. Heartbreaking. Needless to say, we ate some place else. This tourist attraction needs to end.

As a carriage stable owner,I think you are unaware how much love and dedication goes into the welfare and maintaince of our horses.The expenses far exceed the profits,which right there shows how the owners do what they do because of the love of working with their animals,and profit isn't even a factor.

I cried....they are such beautiful creatures.

i cried as well... lovely animals...i cant stand what people do to them...

@truderman you might be a good person caring for your horses. But most others don't. Fact: there died many horses due to overexertion.

So it should be stopped in order to guarantee security for all horses, not just the ones being taken care of by good people like you.

No amount of "love and dedication," no number of laws and regulations could ever alleviate the suffering nor prevent the resulting tragedies in the horse carriage trade. I hope your song will move us closer to a compassionate, empathetic society. Brian, I really love your songs.
