Carriage Horse Freedom
Carriage Horse Freedom is a solution-oriented animal advocacy organization working to ensure a legislative ban on horse-drawn carriages in Philadelphia. Carriage Horse Freedom promotes a responsible tourism which does not involve the use of animals, and has introduced the Caroline Electric Carriage as a cruelty-free and eco-friendly alternative to horse-drawn carriages.
Caroline
Caroline is Philadelphia’s first electric horseless carriage (“e-carriage”), debuted in the 2023 Independence Day Parade, and the first e-carriage to be introduced in any major US city. Caroline combines the appearance of a traditional horse-drawn carriage with the technology of a modern electric vehicle, offering a humane and unique transportation experience.
