Protect the horses


Protesters last Saturday gathered in front of the Water Tower to demonstrate against the drivers of the horse-drawn carriages.  There protestations included microphones and loud declarations that these horses were not happy and shouldn't be working to schlep tourists around.  I have often wondered where the horses are boarded, and what their working conditions are truly like. My observation was the horses that draw these carriages don't look abused, are seem to be well fed. I ask what does a horse in the city do to earn it's oats?
