Save NYC Horse Carriages

New York City's iconic horse-drawn carriages have been giving carriage rides through Central Park since 1858. Today, there are 68 carriages and about 200 horses. The industry supports, either in part or in full, some 300 working and middle class families.

During the 2013 mayoral campaign, Bill de Blasio promised to ban the historic carriages during his first week in office. His campaign was heavily supported by animal rights and real estate special interests.

Public outcry against the proposed ban has formed a veritable grassroots movement to save NYC's horses. All three major newspapers have editorialized in favor of the carriages. The industry is backed by the Central Labor Council of the AFL-CIO (representing 1.3 million fellow union workers) and the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce and numerous questrian groups. Every poll shows that by an overwhelming majority, New Yorkers want the carriage horses to stay.
