A Call to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages in Montreal

July 17 2015 // Catlin Spencer // News
Mayor Denis Coderre has called for mandatory veterinary check-ups for Caleche horses after a horse slipped and fell on a metal plate downtown Tuesday.
 
Allegedly, the incident occurred when an inexperienced driver attempted to take an empty carriage through a construction site during rush hour. 
 
According to Global News, the incident has re-ignited the debate over whether or not the famous horse-drawn carriages should still be legal in Montreal.
 
A Brossard store manager who witnessed the event, Tara Schulz, sent photos of the fallen horse to the Anti-Caleche Defense Coalition Facebook page, a grassroots movement asking for the retirement of Caleche horses in Montreal.
