Read the city's letter to Carolina Polo Carriage company is cited; City has issues with cleaning of stalls, feeding, vet records, published 07/10/09 Carriage company files suit; Carolina Polo claims negligence against woman, published 09/03/09 Draft horses working for Carolina Polo and Carriage Co. could take the busy Thanksgiving week off this year. Charleston tourism officials suspended the company's operations for 30 days, which amounts to Carolina Polo shutting down for seven days, and allows for an additional 23-day suspension if the company receives any more citations resulting in convictions during a three-month period. The suspension, which is effective Nov. 24, comes after the company pleaded guilty to four code violations related to the way it maintained its horses and stables. Carolina Polo faced a maximum six-month suspension. The penalty, one week off the streets, will mark the longest shutdown in Charleston carriage tour history, according to city attorney Ravi Sanyal. "This is the stiffest punishment ever given by the city for a violation of the animal welfare ordinance," he said.
