While the Conservancy insists park rules forbid horses from eating vegetation and accuses the owner of negligence, the union calls it gross oversight, pointing to the park’s planting of deadly shrubs. This tragedy, the seventh involving working horses in 13 months, has reignited the debate over whether horse-drawn carriages should be banned entirely, with activists pushing for Ryder’s Law and the Conservancy agreeing it’s time for the city to follow other cities’ lead. The union vows not to forget Deniz, while the owner mourns a decade of companionship. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
