Horse-drawn carriages are a common site in downtown Frederick around the holidays.

So are the protests that accompany them.

The Frederick Board of Aldermen recently took up the issue of horse-drawn carriages again, this time looking at how often horses need to take a break.

City reporter Colin McGuire joins producer Heather Mongilio to talk about the history behind the horse-drawn carriages and the aldermen’s latest decision.

Then, food reporter Katryna Perera joins the show to talk about her latest food review.
