    She has driven a carriage in Manhattan’s most famous park, pulled by her horses, for six years. But since Lawson heard about the city’s vote this week to outlaw the carriages over animal and public-safety concerns, she has been worried.

    “What am I supposed to do with my horse?” asked the 28-year-old about her current horse, Starlight. “You’re going to tell me I can’t work with her anymore? How am I supposed to ensure her health my bank account balance?”

    FTFY

      Yeah, right? Unless she’s commuting several hours a day with a horse trailer, that thing permanently lives in gutted out apartment or small warehouse. It hasn’t had grass under its hoofs ever and it barely gets to see it because of the blinders. So healthy. Probably can’t run well or for far because it just doesn’t know open space and roam.

        You know what they say about dating a horse girl?

        In my experience:

        • “She’s not real.”
        • “My Little Pony isn’t for people your age.”
        • “You need to start looking for a job.”
        • “Applejack and Princess Luna aren’t your waifus.”
        • “Listen, we know about the jar.”

    I remember going to NYC and thinking “where do the horses go when not working?”. I could Google it. I’m sure it’s close to the 1900s

        You must be too new to remember the early days of search engines

        Google was miles ahead of Ask Jeeves and the handful of other options that existed in the '90s

        Shame to see them fall so far
