The urban carriage horse ride is a nostalgic form of recreation whose time has passed.

Horses are the species that humans have exploited the most in history: wartime, agriculture, medical research, transportation, sports, entertainment, and now also tourism.

Isn’t it time to give them the retirement they deserve? We are hopeful Victoria will follow Montreal’s example and ban horse-drawn carriages.
