What you should know:
- Horses are forced to toil in all weather conditions, dodge traffic and pound the pavement all day.
- Horses suffer respiratory ailments breathing exhaust fumes and debilitating leg problems from walking on hard surfaces.
- The average life of a carriage horse is only 4 years-compared to 20 years for horses in normal habitats.
- Horses are often surprised and spooked by loud street noises, causing them to run amok and leading to accidents that harm the horse and humans.
