New York City’s beloved horse-drawn carriages, a staple of its streets for over a century, are set to end their traditional service as part of broader regulatory changes. Authorities have cited concerns over animal welfare and public safety as key factors in the decision to phase out the historic but controversial practice. The move follows years of debate over the treatment of the horses and the risks posed by the carriages in crowded urban areas. Riders and animal rights advocates have long clashed over the issue, leaving many to wonder what will replace this enduring symbol of the city’s charm.
