The family, celebrating his high school graduation and university acceptance, was visiting from India when the incident occurred. The driver, suspended for violating safety rules by dismounting to take photos, and the horse will be retired. The carriage company has halted operations while reviewing safety, sparking renewed calls to ban horse-drawn carriages amid rising safety concerns and eight horse-related incidents in the past year. Animal welfare groups have long criticized the horses’ treatment, and city officials now plan legislative hearings to potentially end the industry—with efforts underway to support drivers in transitioning to new careers.
