A newly erected billboard along Interstate 26 near Dorchester Road appears to discourage tourists and downtown patrons from participating in horse-led carriage tours.<\/p>\n
The yellow billboard depicts a horse racing toward a pedestrian as the driver attempts to regain control of the animal. Behind the driver, one of the three passengers is shown mid-air.<\/p>\n
“Better safe than sorry,” the billboard reads.<\/p>\n
The billboard bears the hashtag #justsayneigh, which is part of a campaign led by the Charleston Carriage Horse Advocates and pushes for humane treatment of animals in urban environments, according to the group’s website.<\/a><\/p>\n
