Safety Issues

We Need Your Help

The City’s ordinance allows the MOST EXTREME TEMPERATURE READING in the NATION before animals are allowed to stop working and the heaviest passenger load – 17 adults pulled by one horse (about 2 1/2 TONS per hour.)

Are we going to let this continue? Are you ready to join us in demanding the Mayor and City Council change what we believe is a horrific, cruel ordinance? We can speak up for voiceless carriage animals. CCHA is an all-volunteer local non-profit that relies on your dollars to purchase banners, bumper stickers, billboards, yard signs, hand-outs and more.

Help us bring awareness to visitors on the cruel reality of horse carriages! Be a Voice for the Voiceless!
