This is animal abuse. These horses are mistreated and overworked for profit. That's exploration. People are blindly contributing to abuse. If you knew anything about horses, you'd know the city is no place for them. Wake up and call an uber. It's 2017!

Amazing experience! The drivers are friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly resourceful. They've built strong relationships with the horses they work with, and it shows in the way they interact with their horses and in how they talk about them. I hope they'll keep this tradition going! 5 stars!
By the way... for anyone who thinks this is animal exploitation, these animals are not fluffy dogs or cats. They are not cuddle buddies. They are not pets. They are work animals and have been bred for thousands of years to meet the needs of humans. Whether you like it or not, that's their job. Just as a seeing-eye dog is trained to help their humans, these breeds of horses (Draft Horses) are trained to pull heavy loads - and they're happiest when they're working. If in one out of a thousand rides a horse faints, they still send it to the field for rest. They aren't over working these animals. I've been down there several times: the animals are always given plenty of food and always have access to water. This is a first hand account. They also rotate the horses so that they aren't overworked or become fatigued. I suggest researching horses and horse breeds to those who do not know their information: from one avid animal lover to the next.

I've been raised around horses my entire life. Despite what bad experiences a few have had, I've had nothing but wonderful experiences. The horses are well taken care of and the drivers are absolutely devoted to their four-legged companions. I highly recommend not only taking a ride but talking to the driver if you need any clarification on the matter: these drivers know their horses - their stride, their preferences, their behavior, their good and bad days. They aren't in this for the money - they're not doing it just as a hobby or occupation: they love their horses and are dedicated to them completely. They're also wonderful to converse with and helpful if you have any questions.

Great Experience with friends and family.
I live in Chicago and I know these horses and their drivers, i see them in the week ends and my kids like to stop by and pet them or talk to the drivers, they are curious for their well being and we are pleased to see they are happy as puppies, they love them and care for them.
I was able to book the ride in advance on their site. My driver, was very professional and courteous with my family. What a great night and a great family activity.
A great way to explore or re-discover the city.

This is my third time taking friends from out of town on a ride with Chicago Horse and Carriage. It is such a lovely way to see the city at night.
We had a beautiful time and the male driver was courteous and very personable.
The horse's name was Pickles! What a magnificent creature. She was so gentle and sweet with my friend's 6-year-old daughter.
I don't know why there are these bad reviews about the state of the animals or the customer service. The horses look well taken care of and when I made my reservations the person I spoke with was very business-like and helpful.
Pickles would get 5 stars by herself! The experience...another 5 stars!
