Chicago weather is expected to be terrible the next several days. Very low temperatures and wind chills. We've made the appropriate calls in order to insure the horses won't be working in the frigid temperatures. Heck, we've gotten e-mails from CURRENT CHICAGO CARRIAGE DRIVERS begging us to do something so THEY don't have to work in the cold. It's not only cruel to the horses but the the people who drive them. It seems some of the drivers out there DO have a heart and DO hear what we are saying. While we're sure they don't want a ban on their industry, we're sure that some want to see the horses they drive receive better care.
We've gotten so many letters from unnamed drivers telling us stories of neglectful owners and how there were times when there wasn't any hay or the drivers have brought their horses home to filthy stalls to sleep in for the night. It's inhumane and carriage drivers KNOW IT.
