The horse and carriage is a popular Belize City tour for cruise visitors. We see them rolling by on cruise ship days carting tourists around the city.
But, while the tour is a winner, many times, the horses are not: they often look much the worse for wear.
Well today the BTB held a horse inspection session for 4 of the companies which operate horse and carriage tours to ensure that proper standards and regulations are being followed. Compliance officer for BTB Shola Babb says the overall health of the horses does matter.
These inspections are done every 6 months. Discussions are on going between the BTB and the Humane Society to include breaks during the 40 minute horse and carriage tour.
