New York City’s iconic horse-drawn carriages, a tradition dating back decades, are set to be phased out under new regulations aimed at improving safety and animal welfare. The proposed ban follows growing concerns over accidents involving horses and carriages, as well as debates over the ethical treatment of the animals.

The decision could reshape a long-standing but increasingly contentious practice in urban tourism.
