The Texas Woman’s University equestrian team is preparing legal action to challenge New York City’s upcoming ban on horse-drawn carriages in Central Park, arguing the decision could harm their training programs and the broader horse industry. The university claims the restriction unfairly targets carriage operators while failing to address alternative solutions for maintaining equestrian traditions. Legal experts suggest the case may hinge on whether the ban disproportionately impacts professional riders and their livelihoods. Supporters of the measure counter that the policy aims to improve animal welfare and public safety amid long-standing concerns over carriage-related incidents.
