Owners of a 16-year-old carriage horse that collapsed and died in Central Park have taken legal action by filing a "notice of claim," a procedural step that could lead to a lawsuit against the city. The filing comes after the horse’s sudden death, raising questions about liability and the conditions under which the animal was working.

Details of the claim and any prior concerns about the horse’s health or working conditions remain unclear.
