We gave them our voice and they won!
After almost four years of litigation, the lawsuit ended in our favor. The Court got it right.

A big thank you is in order to the 60 new advocates who signed up to help give the working horses and mules a voice
2021 turned out to be a busy year for Charleston Carriage Horse Advocates. While the pandemic raged, tourism continued to line the pockets of the carriage wagon industry. A carriage horse died as a result of his half-hitched wagon striking his leg causing a fatal injury and multiple incidents involving carriage horses, mules and unsuspecting tourists continued.
As is documented by police and Tourism department records since 2016 there have been over 120 carriage-related incidents. Drivers thrown off, children injured, property damage, equipment failure.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
We want to know what skills you possess that can help bring an end to inhumane carriage horse conditions… hauling 17 adults on steamy asphalt every day in heat that can get to 95 blistering degrees (and measured FOUR times above a hotel before they are allowed to have a break). Passengers and pedestrians need to know the streets are safe (over 110 carriage-related incidents since 2016).
A warm summer night filled with good food, shopping at your favorite local store, maybe going out on a boat, and fireworks at Joe Riley Stadium. Charleston is usually bustling for July 4th weekend, but this year things will feel a bit different.
Since their foundation, CCHA has been actively involved in the Charleston community. From helping educate residents and tourists on the inhumane treatment of the carriage animals to attending chili cook offs, it is their mission to make Charleston a safer and humane city.
As you know the pilot program was to allow horse carriage tours in zone 4 on Holidays and 30 other days per year at the rate of 8 per hour-about 7 minutes apart. They are to use separate routes through Ansonborough
Charleston Carriage Horse Advocates is a Nonprofit located in Charleston South Carolina. The mission of the organization is to educate the public and advocate for the humane treatment of livestock and animals that work in urban environments.
The sun rises up over the harbor, The shavings glistening in my stall. I’m ready to start my day, And give my owner my all. A quick bucket of oats and a brush of my hair, It’s gonna be hot today, Does anyone care?
