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.

Hello,
I agree with your article. I volunteer for Appalachian Horse Help and Rescue located in Linden, PA. We see the problems with neglectful owners on a daily basis. Great info in your article as well. Most people say, a rescue horse, no way, there must be something wrong with it. We'll just go and breed our own. Well there are too many horses now, why bring another one into the world when we need to find homes for the ones that are already here! We currently have 9 horses at our facility and everyone needs a good home, the places that had them just didn't care about them.
Please visit our website, http://www.ahhr911. iwarp.com
We would be interested in being added to your list of horse rescues, we need to get the word out there and every little bit helps!
Thank you!

I work around 10 hrs/wk at Grace Foundation (thegracefoundation.com), a 501(c)(3) horse rescue in Northern California with around 150 horses plus countless other animals. I absolutely love it, and I am in the process of adopting an OTTB. Rescue horses really should be given more consideration in the minds of anyone looking for a new horse.

Excluding for-profit but equally wonderful equine rescues is kind of mean. Our rescue, Spirit of Hope Farm (http://spiritofhopefarm. tripod.com) is a for-profit equine shelter and rescue, though that is a serious misnomer since we SPENT (which means LOST in business terms) over 45k out of our own pocket last year on our rescue! To add to your list, Maine has several really good non-profit rescues including Open Gates Rescue in New Gloucester (www.opengatesequinerescu- e.org) and the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals in Windham.
