but my daughter used to drive here in chicago. the horses here were well cared for for a simple reason- they are a big investment. buying and training a horse that can do that job is not peanuts.
as far as their living quarters, their stalls are small. but they spend the day exercising. they are fine to sleep tight. and usually horses were rotated between work and a farm outside the city. any horse that started to show any wear and tear usually got a rest on the farm.

horses like to have jobs. no jobs, no horses. and you can't make a horse do something it doesn't want to. all their horses were happy to work.
i really never got the people who would come up to my daughter and give her a hard time.
