Think about the horses during carriage rides

Everyone thinks that the classic horse-drawn carriage is romantic, but no one thinks of the animal. Why should horses have to ride people around the streets when we are perfectly capable of walking around ourselves? If you just picture yourself in the horse’s place then, maybe you’ll understand why they should not have to drag around those heavy carriages. We are not living in the 19th century and why should the Cinderella complex still be played out. Hopefully, other individuals will feel the same way and the carriage rides beginning in November in Red Bank will be canceled.
