It spends so much time demonizing its villains that it forgets to build a case for the carriage workers, and to truly dismantle the pernicious rumors about the conditions and stress imposed upon their horses.

Film Threat

In all, the film delivers a convincing argument in favor of the horse-drawn carriage industry and reveals some unsettling facts.

This movie does a great job of exposing the real reason for the recent push behind NYC horse carriage ban proposals. It's always been clear it had nothing to do with the horses, since they are obviously cared for and treated well, but it's interesting to see what was going on in the background that lead people to incorrectly calling "abuse" on the industry. It's also shocking to see how such an iconic yet rather small industry was clearly used as a pawn in the entire NYC mayoral election.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
