How do you feel about horse-drawn carriages in major cities?
They should be allowed as they always have been.
They should be regulated better to make sure the horses aren't overworked.
They should be restricted to parks or low-traffic areas.
They should be banned from cities. It's not safe for the horses or people.

This is horrible! I can't believe that woman. And I can't believe that the BLM would kill off all the new foals, and others! Who cares about 'spanish traits?' I say lives are more important!
