Comments by "Widdekuu91" (@Widdekuu91) on "Carriage Horse Collapses After Carrying NYC Tourists | The Dodo" video.

Horse-carriages are not bad, as long as the horse gets breaks, enough food, water, green grass (a field) to run around in, about 1 or 2 days a week and a few companions. It gets cruel when you deny him any of the above. That's what happened in the video. Instead of taking them out of use...get someone to check the horses. And to demand changes in their lifes.

Agreed. Horse-carriages are not bad, as long as the horse gets breaks, enough food, water, green grass (a field) to run around in, about 1 or 2 days a week and a few companions.

Okay, the stables are for sleeping..so the size doesn't matter. As long as the horse gets resting periods, in which he stands still...and (important!) gets enough water and enough sleep and enough food...he'll be fine. It's a good thing to give the horse resting days. And to give it holiday-breaks, such as having a few days a month in a large field. That way, the horse will get enough excersize, enough food, daylight, water, sleep and love..I'm assuming the owner pets the animal too in this case... And it'll socialize with horses every now and then. Thát'd be the right way to do it. It's useless if you don't stick to those rules, because indeed, eventually the horse collapses, like a car would without fuel. It's just that a horse, is ofcourse, also an animal. So that makes it even worse. You don't have to ban all carriages though, because some people do bad things. If that were the method, you'd ban éver item and évery person from évery place in the world. Because sóme people misuse knifes and some people abuse their kids. That doesn't mean nobody can have kids. Same with carriages. As long as the horse is indeed fine, then he's fine. It just needs to be checked better.
