A coalition representing New York City’s carriage horse industry has warned it will take legal action if proposed legislation to ban horse-drawn carriages in the city moves forward. The group argues the ban would eliminate a long-standing tradition while failing to address the core concerns of animal welfare advocates. Supporters of the measure claim the carriages pose safety risks to both horses and pedestrians, citing incidents of accidents and injuries. The dispute highlights a clash between cultural heritage and public safety regulations in the city.
