At Southurn Rose our horses are precious to us as they are apart of not only our team but also our family, however,
some concerns have been raised about the horse's working conditions during the hot weather months in Beaufort, SC. This page
is to document the procedure we use to make sure our horses are treated humanely.

The City Police Department uses a special machine that tests the dry temperature versus the humidity, and if either the
dry temperature or the humidity raises the heat level to 90 degrees F, then the carriage companies shutdown for the rest of
that day.
Each driver is responsible for taking their horse's temperature and respiration before and after every tour. If the horse's
temperature or respiration is in the danger level then that horse is iced and taken off the street. Even if the horse's temperature
is at a safe level, the horse still gets a bath before he goes out on tour so that the breezes will cool him down during the
tour. The horse also gets ice cold carrots and ice water mixed with electrolytes to keep him comfortable.
