How difficult is it REALLY to pull the Victoria Carriage Tours horse wagons?

This video is to show that our carriages and trolley are light enough that even us humans can pull them around! so for our 2'000lb draft horses this is a stroll in the park (literally!)

Thank you for sharing this.
There are people out there who fail - or refuse - to understand that all sulkies/bikes, wagons, carriages, trams are designed in such a manner to make the workload easy for the horse to handle; it does not take a lot of horsepower to pull a carriage.

Pulling these conveyances are not hard on the horse and they do not constitute cruelty.

It is the starting and stopping that puts the strain on the legs.
Young's Brewery in London did horse drawn deliveries up until early 2000's, they stopped because of several very nasty road rage incidents by motor drivers.
Traffic {motor} forced them off the roads.

so how do you feel about walking these horses around high traffic areas and breathing in toxic fumes all day? how about when cars, dogs, and random people making loud noises and scare them.. i stood and watched for 3 hours while these horses became anxious over so many different things...
