As quoted by AP, Kirchner said: "It is associated with the stone age, but it is actually the most ecological and beautiful means of transportation we have."

The report by the news agency also mentioned that Kirchner has been taking her horse-drawn carriage work instead of SUV. She even claims that it saves her $264 every month.

"Some people are annoyed if they can't get past me fast enough," Kirchner said.

She also said, "It is not possible everywhere. I can't put a horse in a parking garage. It would be nice to... I think a lot more horse riders would do it if opportunities were created for the horses. But I don't think society is that far."
