Summary/Abstract: The main goal of this article is to ponder the presence of horses in the urban space of Kraków. Due to their common presence on the streets, horses constitute an integral part of Kraków’s cityscape. Joanna Gellner treats the issue of using horses as draft force in urban transport, by fire brigades and order services. She discusses the situation of horses in the context of the emerging animal welfare movement, which dates to the nineteenth century. The large scale of using horses caused a similarly large scale of abuse against them.
