“This is not just about animal welfare and animal rights, this is also keeping humans safe,” the 40-year-old mom of two said during a recent rally.
Michaels added, “What people do not understand is that, by nature, horses are prey animals and this means they do not belong in city traffic.”

Michaels isn’t the only celebrity mom who has spoken out on behalf of the mighty beasts.
Songstress Pink said previously, “Every time I see a horse-drawn carriage in a concrete jungle, I point and yell ‘animal cruelty’ at the top of my lungs to try to make the driver and occupants as uncomfortable as possible.”
She added, “It honestly hurts my heart when I think of what those horses must be feeling, as far as anxiety and fear, and how unnatural and wrong it is for these animals to have blinders on, trotting up and down on concrete, while taxis blare and people scream. It’s absolutely unnatural and ignorant of us to continue this outdated tradition. What about this is romantic?”
