There are renewed calls to put an end to carriage horse rides in New York City. OvermyerTV was at a rally Wednesday on the steps of City Hall.
The horse that collapsed on a city street two weeks ago is now at a retirement stable in upstate New York, but that incident has raised more concerns around the treatment of carriage horses.Carriage horse collapses of neurological disease in Hell's Kitchen, union says
Legislative measures have been on the books for decades. Until then, Holden wants Mayor Eric Adams to"shut it down.""Have you spoken with the mayor's office?" Overmyer asked. For decades, the union for the horse drivers has been facing pressure to change, especially after a horse named Ryder made headlines after collapsing on a city street on Aug. 11.
While his owner claimed he was only 13, the vet determined him to be at least 28. Horses must be retired at the age of 26."Oh yeah, he's on one of the carriage horse vacation farms.
