A local advisory board wants to end a rule limiting when horses can pull carriages on city streets during poor air quality days.
Scott Ball / San Antonio Report
The board was supposed to discuss changing the temperature rule Nov. 16, but too few board members showed up and there wasn’t the quorum needed to hold the meeting. The next meeting has not been scheduled yet.that operate carriages gathered in the lobby of the Public Safety Headquarters building ahead of the recent meeting were overheard discussing how the current rules were hurting their business, forcing drivers to wait for hours until the temperature dropped enough to begin working.
Espy, who has worked extensively with draft horses, and his wife, small-animal veterinarian Shannon Espy, are well-known for their animal welfare work in San Antonio. Together they founded the organization“There’s nothing in the literature, either the [American Association of Equine Practitioners] or the Humane Society, that indicates ozone is dangerous for working horses,” said Espy. “There’s also no indication that the temperature is dangerous for working horses.
San Antonio Police Department’s ground transportation unit did not respond to an email requesting comment. According to the advisory board’s September meeting minutes, Simms said he would also ask Espy to weigh in on the temperature rule before giving the board ACS’s opinion on that provision at a future meeting. The change was on the agenda for the board’s canceled Nov. 16 meeting.
