Actor Escorts NYC Councilmembers On Tour Of Stables

(NEW YORK) – Teamster officials and Teamster horse-carriage drivers thanked actor Liam Neeson for escorting City Councilmembers on a tour of the Clinton Park Horse Stables Sunday afternoon.

Councilmembers were invited to ask questions about the care and treatment of the animals and saw firsthand how well the horses live.

Neeson, a horse lover who supports the horse-carriage drivers, offered to show New York City Councilmembers for themselves how well the horses are treated.



“Horse carriages are iconic symbols of New York representing the beauty and charm of the city as well as the opportunity they provide for working-class people like me,” said Colm McKeever, horse carriage driver and member of Teamster Local 553.

1. I'm sure they tidied thingas up nicely for the visit.

Horses don't belong on cement, know matter how much tourists like it. Central park is great for walking. No need to ride.
