Examining veterinarians should not be expected to perform psychological fitness examinations of potential city carriage horses. Carriage horse owners should keep a log of each horse's daily work hours. Also, each horse should have an individual medical record including record of illnesses and treatment, vaccinations. All accidents involving carriage horses, including those with no injuries, should be reported to the regulating agency promptly using a standardized accident report form.
Daily exercise is recommended for all horses.
During slow tourism periods, exercise by working without passengers, handwalking, or pasture turnout is recommended. Stables should be well-ventilated. Stalls should be cleaned daily. Stables should be inspected regularly by appropriate enforcement officers, and annually by fire and building inspectors. Carriage horses should be prohibited from working in areas of excessive or unsafe motor vehicle traffic during peak traffic hours, and from all other unsafe urban zones.
