Please. The horses are treated better than most in the country. We have more than adequate vet, ferrier, and dental care. Not to mention 3-4 month vacations every yr, and adoption to farms all over the country. The FACTS are not as the animal rights portray them. Our stables are very nice, a few are state of the art, with ALL box stalls for every cariage horse in the city. Not even the mounted horses for the police have that! Suffering? I bought my horses their own farm upstate! I love them. They are our family! I have every retired horse I have ever owned.We are not cruel. using horses to pull is not cruel. Spreading LIES and outrageous disgusting things about us is cruel! You shoud be ashamed of yourselves!Anyone who is sceptical can find me at Central Park. My name is Abigail. I would be more than happy to show my stable and farm to anyone with doubt.

Just goes to show how little you actually know about our industry. Horses all over the country are denied turnout...on a much more frequent basis than our. Ours get daily excercise. Why dont you take a trip down to ANY race horses facility or ANY show horse facility. There you will see horses confined to stalls 23 hrs a day, for most of their lives. Get a clue.Bits, blinders, and shoes are cruel now? You make me laugh! I can see you are one of those "animal liberationists". You are obviously insane if you think that having a bit in a horses mouth is cruel. Blinders are the LAW. And shoes have been put on horses for 3,000 yrs +. They can not feel the hoof! Snitation dept?!!! Ahhhh! WE EMPLOY 2 SWEEPERS OF OUR OWN EXPENSE! Please, you people THINK you know about horses or our business...you are absolutely deluded.

We have NEVER been cited for cruelty in over 150 yrs. We have 5 stables, 2 of which are state of the art. All of our horses in nyc have box stalls. (which the mounted police horses dont even have)They get ferrier care, worming, and dental and vet care on a schedualed basis…which is all recorded for the city. We are overseen by 5 agencies (we have more regulations and oversight than at-risk children). We have temp restrictions, and hr work restrctions which are overseen by the aspca. We send our horses to vacations on farms 3-4 months out of each yr. When our horses are retired they are adopted out through one of 3 adoption programs we use. We are licensed 4 times over (carriage, driver, horse,and stable) We are fully insured. Our horses were trained specifically for this job… PETA is really good at lying to people. their intentions are evil. They want to do away with all human to animal relationships. ALL of them including pets. Its disgusting. Whats even more disgusting is that people like Kristen Johnston (who dont know anything about horses in the first place) are halping them!
If you want the TRUTH you can see my videos on youtube of my horses on my farm and in their stable in nyc and at work. This is the TRUTH. I can prove everything I say….they cant! Please take a look before you believe everything they say.
