    The horse has nice (anti-fly?) "earmuffs."

    I've never ever been in a carriage. I used to plead with my mother when I lived in Austria but she never gave in. I tend to think that horses could have a better life.

    I saw something similar in Sicily. Charming. I have to agree with Ciel if I think about it.

    @ Francisca - No, I agree with ciel and tapirgal. I can imagine better things for a horse than pulling a carriage in the traffic of Rome.

    Oh, I do agree... I don't think I've ever taken one anywhere! ;-)
