What we did and where we are going!

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.

New Call to Action to the Charleston Community

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).
