No, Really, Do You Need A Moment?

Poor carriage horses in Central Park already have a shit deal since they are forced to pull around tourists all day and only get paid in stale hay and forced air kisses. But now they have it even worse, because they have to deal with tourists melting into a puddle of melodrama when they trip and fall onto the ground.

A tourist took the above video of her giving birth to a full-fledged panic attack after the horse pulling the carriage she was riding in got spooked for a minute and then fell. Homegirl's mind jumped out of her head and she ran from that horse faster than Fishsticks Paltrow runs away from non-organic wine. I haven't seen a horse make a "....the fuck is wrong with you?" face like that since the almost trampling of Tish Cyrus. Where is a feed bag full of Valium and an escort to the glue factory when you really need 'em? (For the lady, not the horse.)

Consumerist says that during the RUN FOR YOUR LIVES freakout, the lady left her purse in the carriage. When she went back to get it, she was shocked, appalled and all of the above after realizing that the driver was about to take the horse back out to pick up more passengers. The lady cursed out the driver in the NSFW-ish video below.

A rep for the Horse and Carriage Driver's Association called the lady "crazy" and said that they checked out the horse after the fall and made sure the horse was fine.

It's times like this that I can't help but not be mad at who ever created horses. Yes, they gave horses the ability to kick a ho, but couldn't they also give them the ability to gently double slap a ho in the face. Because everybody involved needs a hoof to the cheek.

I could poke fun at this lady and call her a dumbass but .... she has a valid point IMO. As a vegetarian black man (yes, we do exist LOL) I HATE to see any kind of animal abuse. That may have something to do also with my daddy smackin me upside the head every chance he got but I digress. I pity these animals. That horse fell and I have no doubt, with a body that size on those spindly legs, that he/she may be injured however slightly. Putting that animal back out there in line makes me wonder if he/she was checked over just to be sure. Sorry, but I hate to see any kind of abuse towards animal and children. I'll include children here so that everybody gets the point. Those that cannot defend or speak for themselves need an advocate

I didn't watch the first video - too sad - but if the horse was hurt, the driver should have taken him to a place where he could receive proper medical attention. Poor guy/gal.

Hey, you stupid bitch. If nothing else, think of how your hysterics would be perceived by your young son. He just stood there watching your ass dance around like a chicken yelling at two men you don't even know. I don't think horses should be treated like that, either, but if she cared so much about it, she probably wouldn't have agreed to the ride in the first place. Unless she's a chick who woke up from her La-La Happy Land of gummy bears and Twinkies to Silent Hill where food is all moldy and horses get stabby with knives.

my heart goes out to central park horses, and I wish they were galloping in a field instead of pulling morbidly obese tourists like these two around all day.

but that lady is batshit & seems to me like she hyped this incident up with the end game of a lawsuit. if she hasn't already filed one, she will. for emotional distress, negligence, etc. her son needs to start stuffing valium & xanax into her twinkies.

If I ever win the lottery, I will get a house in the country and lots of land and adopt retired carriage horses so they can live the rest of their lives the way they should- on grassland with plenty of acreage to run, excellent food and loving care.

The_Catlady's picture

We all have moments in our lives where the obvious gives us a good swift kick after years of our failure to recognize it. I am hopeful that this was that moment for her. There is often a real disconnect between perception and reality and your slaughterhouse/supermarket example is spot on. Many, many tears ago it took a video of what happens in a slaughterhouse to finally make me understand where the steak and ribs I was eating came from and I haven't touched them since.

If she never takes a carriage ride again, and if her video makes a positive difference for these horses that's a good thing, regardless of how her reaction was perceived.
I will be happy for that.

Yeah, I mean, I wasn't trying to be a kill-joy, but it's lynch-mob-y to go after someone like that. I can't even imagine complete strangers calling my house to hassle me. This lady takes the cake as far as histrionics and misplaced vindication go...not to mention she's a publicity whore (did she seriously call a news station to blather about something that probably happens every day?!), but still...I say we let her live in (crazy) peace. Someday she will say the wrong thing to the wrong person and get punched out.

The copyright thing is funny. For one thing, as soon as you make something it is automatically "copyrighted", and really, what does she think someone is going to do with it!?

See, this is the kind of asshole I wish would stay the fuck out of my city because we have enough of them as there is. (And she'll have the nerve to go back to wherever she lives and talk shit about NYC.) Yes, it was upsetting, but more so for the horse and others around that ninny that had to hear her nonsense. And that poor horse had to carry Eddie around? That's why the bitch fell ON PURPOSE. (And she has the nerve to put this on youtube and copyright it?) Listen to this asshole in the second tape. It's all about her, and her the trauma SHE went through. (1) If she was so concerned about it, she wouldn't have ridden the carriage in the first place. (2) If she knew anything about these "poor creatures," she'd know that they fall and get back up quite easily. (3) Of course the guy put the horse back to work; he and the horse aren't on vacation like her and her fat kid and pussy-ass husband (and they, the horse and the driver, don't make much). (3) If you cared so much about the horse and your kid, you wouldn't have burdened the animal with your fat kid, and you'd make that fatty walk to burn off that useless blubber of his. (4) If you're so decent, you wouldn't be carrying on like that, behaving hysterically and using foul language, in front of your kid. She should watch the videos and not feel smug or victorious, like she did something good. She should be ashamed of her behaviour and think about what she's teaching her kid.

SpottedDogRanch's picture

I am going to confess...I drove as a contract employee for 3 years while in college and while I do agree about the need for regulation of the carriage industry, this lady needs a good dose of STFU. Acting hysterical in front of a large animal with a very strong fight or flight instinct is begging for your ass to be kicked or hit. Hopefully someone or some beast will smack her soon.

There are good and bad apples in every industry & I have seen nice trucks and trailers with fancy carriages that belonged to drunks who sporadically took care of their animals and then there was the poor guy with the ratty looking truck and rusted trailer who made sure the animals ate before he did every night. While the carriage people will say that the horses are not worked every day and they aren't tired, too often they lie and in fact the same horses are used repeatedly because they are so bomb-proof. Walking on paved surfaces is not a natural environment for a horse as it is hard on their tendons and ligaments. Additionally, the heat from the pavement would tire any living creature and horses do not often drink adequately unless they feel comfortable in their environment. Now, for those who are talking about the weight of the load, I have to kindly disagree. This type of vis-a-vis carriage has a very low rolling resistance and the weight of the shaves don't put a hard load on the horse. I am 5'2" and 135 lbs and I have been able to move this type of carriage very easily, even when people were sitting in it. Rolling terrain is another story entirely...

ETA - Harness weight isn't a big factor. Leather harness can weigh 70 lbs (about the same as a western saddle) but many are using synthetic harness materials, which can weigh less than 20 lbs. for the entire set.

After having worked in a major city driving a horse, I agree with those who call for regulation or even banning of the industry. The other drivers I worked with who made this their life profession were often scumbags who were too busy looking for their next hit instead of taking care of the animal that made them a living. I remember being looked at as a freak for having brought grooming tools (brushes) with me. The other drivers simply thought you hosed the poor beasts off with water to clean them every day. Those of you with pets wouldn't do that to your cats or dogs, would you?

Sorry for the rant/diatribe. I currently have horses standing in the pasture outside of my house and wouldn't want to see them put to work this way.

bitch needs to smoke a j and chill out!!

Ok, so riding in the carriage that the horse was pulling was ok before she got her ass scared, after that, she was incredulous.Stupid bitch. Shoulda considered the horse before she took the ride.

I'm not going to hate on this woman for her reaction. Fear makes people do strange things. I do applaud her for raking the carriage driver over the coals about the horse, and that is where the focus should really be. These horses don't have a choice and are forced to work for hours in full harness pulling heavy loads and dealing with exhaust fumes, crazy drivers, loud noises and extremely hot weather. There is a lot of abuse that happens in this industry and I challenge anyone here to do the same and see how long you enjoy it or how long you last. The days of city carriage rides should come to a close and these horses should be found good homes where they can live out their days in green pastures with kind, compassionate care.

Whenever I see these carriages, why is it ALWAYS the tourists in most need of some exercise in them?

As a longtime equestrian, the 'spooked' or 'panic attack' excuse is absurd. Its heat exhaustion compounded with 8-10 hours in the harness,
plain and simple.

Who rides these carriages, anyway? Years ago, my boyfriend was staying at the St. Moritz so we would pass these carriages every day. It never once entered my mind to ride in one of those things.
