City council committee evaluating future of horse-drawn carriages in downtown San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO — On Wednesday, the possibility of phasing out horse-drawn carriages in San Antonio could be one step closer to become a reality. The CCR called the use of horses in horse drawn carriages"an inhuman, cruel means of travel in San Antonio."

"These horses couldn't be more humanely looked after than they are. They have better health care than most people," she said."They have dentists, they have vets. They're very well cared for, very well looked after, watered after every ride, diaper bags changed after every time they use them. So I just don't understand where they're heading with this new direction that they're going ahead with.

"We are actually the most regulated industry, more or less in the States," Garcia said."San Antonio led the way with the ordinance that they actually developed. We're not allowed to work when the temperature is above 95. We wouldn't do any way. We don't work when it's cold. We get inspected every year by the city, vets, we have ACS out. We also have to get our own vet inspection certificates twice a year.
