Horse Welfare

The American public is beginning to question the ethics and safety of urban carriage tours, with several cities banning horse-drawn carriage rides altogether.

Supporters of a wider ban on carriage tours, such as the Humane Society of the United States, argue that the traffic and noise of city streets are stressful to horses and that the heavy work and air pollution cause unacceptable levels of injury, ill-health and discomfort.

Others, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, think that the carriage horse industry can be acceptable if strict regulations on the care and working condition of horses are enforced: adequate veterinary care, stabling and feed; access to water while working; maximum loads and working hours; a full stoppage of carriage rides if the weather is too hot or too cold for the horses to work comfortably.

Savannah’s carriage tour industry meets some, but not all, of these standards. Its city ordinance on Horse-Drawn Carriages For Hire obliges carriage tour operators to meet minimum standards of veterinary care, harness upkeep and off- and on-duty treatment of the horses. It also restricts the number of people a horse can pull.

The city currently also imposes some restrictions on the temperature in which horses may work, and does not allow horses to work in temperatures exceeding 98°F (36.7°C). More information here

This is one of the highest maximum allowable temperatures employed in the United States, with other cities such as New York limiting carriage rides to temperatures below 90°F.

What this means in practice is that Savannah’s carriage horses are not permitted to work in conditions that will be excessively dangerous to their health (and it would not be to the advantage of their owners to allow this – horses are a valuable asset) but they are obliged to work in conditions that may be very unpleasant for them.

If you can, before reserving a carriage tour take a look at the horses at the carriage stands if you pass them and at the horses that go by in the street, to see whether they seem calm, well-kept and willing to work.

If you don’t feel good about what you see, strongly consider taking another kind of tour instead. Welfare problems are particularly likely to arise in the summer, when Savannah can get very hot and humid.

Savannah has numerous motorized trolley and bus tours, some with air conditioning, that can provide a comfortable ride. You could also take a bike or segway tour, or a walking tour at a cooler time of the day.
