We're not talking draft horses pulling tourists around in carriages--oh no. We're talking little bony horses pulling little rickety carts with cargo--usually a weathered man wearing a sombrero and bouncing along like a pimp in a pimp-mobile with hydraulics.
They trot along the roads like sputtering cars, the unflinching horses taking stilted little steps on the pavement. Once they get where they're going, they are tied up to a post, a tree, a road sign--whatever is closest.
Once, I saw one tied up outside of a bar.
And, in case of bad weather, there's always this option:
Yes, that's a horse with a raincoat you're looking at. This particular vehicle was tied up outside of a grocery store.
Wow.
