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.

The Near Side: Meet the Bloggers

 

Kim & Mirkos Associate Editor Kim Abbott half-leases this ex-racehorse who came from Chile. Together they ride dressage and plan to add jumping to their regimen, since Mirkos finds dressage quite tedious!
Leslie & Snoopy: Leslie’s Morgan horse is a saddle seat champ, but has everything from driving to kid’s camp horse on his resume. Leslie is just as versatile.
Holly & Zephyr: Holly is a fearless eventer! Zephyr is an off-track Thoroughbred who enjoys cross country jumping but finds dressage disagreeable.
Liz & Chance: HI editor Liz recently re-entered the world of horse ownership. She and her young Appaloosa gelding, Chance, are working on becoming a team.
Editor-in-chief Lesley lives on a farm with her three horses: Tee, an off-track Thoroughbred; Grace, a Paint cross; and everybody’s favorite, the palomino pony Jasper. Lesley does eventing and also enjoys trail riding with dogs Sophie and Shadow alongside. The horses, dogs and cats of Fir Tree Farm have been known to make guest appearances in HI—top models, all!

seeing that the journalism people still ride horses is comforting. I want to ride, train, and breed horses, but I also love writing.
