The tragic incident, the first of its kind in the park in over a century, follows another horse death from poisoning just a week prior. While carriage operators, backed by the Transport Workers Union, claim they’re pausing operations out of respect but accuse opponents of exploiting the tragedy, the Central Park Conservancy and lawmakers like Council Speaker Julie Menin are now firmly aligned on ending the practice. With a July hearing looming, the future of horse-drawn carriages in the park is suddenly very much in doubt. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
