Tonight, a carriage horse collapsed and died in Central Park. We do not yet know this horse’s name, age, history, or what caused their death — but we do know this: no horse should spend their life pulling a carriage through the streets of Manhattan. We have seen this before. Ryder. Lady. Aisha. Charlie. Smoothie. And now another horse whose life ended on the pavement. This moment demands more than outrage. It demands action. On Thursday, the City Council will reintroduce Ryder’s Law — legislation to finally transition New York City away from horse carriages and retire the horses to sanctuaries. That future will include the workers, too. Carriage drivers deserve a real transition plan with stable jobs, protections, and benefits — and we are ready to work with TWU and all stakeholders to make that happen. But doing nothing is not an option. Another horse is dead on the streets of New York City. For the horses. For the workers. For New York City. Pass Ryder’s Law.

A horse pulling a carriage in New York City’s Central Park collapsed and died Tuesday evening near Strawberry Fields, according to witnesses and animal welfare advocates. The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m., with the horse reportedly dying minutes after collapsing. The death comes just days before supporters of Ryder’s Law are set to rally at City Hall in support of legislation that would phase out the city’s horse-drawn carriage industry. The bill is named after Ryder, a carriage horse that collapsed while working in Manhattan in 2022 and later died from his injuries. VIA: New York Post 🎥: NYCLASS

BREAKING: “Yet again, a carriage horse violently spooked at the 7th Ave entrance to Central Park today, flipping the carriage, throwing and trapping the driver underneath in yet another terrifying and completely preventable crash in Midtown. The driver was reportedly seriously injured and taken away in an ambulance, and there are reports of injuries to other drivers and passengers. We still do not know the traumatized horse's condition. NYCLASS urgently calls on Speaker Julie Menin and the New York City Council Lynn Schulman 舒曼琳 to quickly reintroduce and fast track Ryder’s Law before more people or horses are seriously injured or killed. Today, both a heat advisory and an air quality alert were in effect, yet these horses were still being forced to work in dangerous conditions. These incidents keep happening because horses are skittish prey animals who do not belong in chaotic city traffic. Seventy-eight percent of polled New York voters support passing Ryder’s Law, along with the Mayor, the Central Park Conservancy, and countless horse experts and welfare groups. The City Council must act now before the next tragedy occurs.” Edita Birnkrant, Executive Director, NYCLASS

A message from Nancy Sliwa: This horse has died today because of abuse and a city hall that won’t ban horse carriage rides. It’s disgusting. The city refuses to ban horse-drawn carriages. How many more have to suffer before something changes? We will not let this continue. Vote for Curtis Sliwa for Mayor on the Protect Animals Independent Line. We will end animal abuse immediately.

In the heart of New York City, horses are still forced to pull heavy carriages through traffic, in freezing cold and extreme heat, surrounded by noise, exhaust and chaos. NYC voters agree: these sensitive, intelligent animals deserve to be freed from this outdated industry. Share if you agree and say NO to horse carriage rides!

An 18-year-old has died after he was thrown from a horse carriage that overturned in New York City's Central Park on Wednesday. Alexander Kemp, administrative vice president for TWU Local 100, the union representing horse carriage drivers, said the driver of the carriage did not hear or see anything that could have spooked the horse. Still, the horse bolted away as the driver took a photo for the family in the carriage, causing the chaotic scene. According to the union, the carriage owner has suspended the driver indefinitely and plans to retire the horse, which had only been in the park for six weeks. Advocacy groups have long pushed for a ban on horse and carriages in the massive New York City park. #newyorkcity #nyc #horse

SENSITIVE CONTENT: A Central Park carriage horse named Deniz collapsed and died near 72nd Street while still harnessed to a carriage. This is not the first time a carriage horse has died on the streets of New York and that is exactly the problem. The debate over banning horse-drawn carriages in NYC has been going on for over a decade - animal rights groups have fought relentlessly, multiple mayors have made campaign promises, and every single time the carriage industry unions step in and the politicians fold. The horses keep working in extreme heat on hard pavement in heavy traffic while the political back and forth never ends. Bobby Khan addresses at the end of this video how this cycle keeps repeating itself with zero accountability and zero change. Rest easy Deniz.

#breaking: The Mahajan family’s first trip to NYC ended in mourning after the death of their 18-year-old son, NYT reported. The family was on a horse-drawn carriage ride around 2:45 p.m. in Central Park, when the driver got off to take a photo of the family, the father told NYT. But then, the horse bolted, speeding up before it crashed. “We were yelling, ‘Help me, help me!’” Romanch Mahajan’s father, Deepak, 44, told NYT. His wife, Priya, fell out of the carriage, so Romanch jumped down to try to help. But he didn’t get up. By around 7:15 p.m., he had died from his injuries, West Side Rag wrote. The other family members, including Romanch’s younger brother, sustained minor injuries. The incident has renewed outrage over the horse-drawn carriage industry and its treatment of horses. On June 9, a horse named Deniz collapsed and died in Central Park after eating a plant toxic to horses. “This is unacceptable. A driver is not supposed to leave the carriage to take photos — ever,” Alexander Kemp, a VP of the horse carriage industry union, said in a statement. “We support a full investigation.” The driver has been suspended and the horse involved, named Sampson, has been retired. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the death a “horrific incident.” “I look forward to working with…community leaders to deliver a just transition that protects workers while ending horse-drawn carriages in Central Park once and for all.” The Mahajan family was celebrating Romanch’s graduation from high school. He was set to begin studying at Manipal University Jaipur for college. “It took my son’s dream away,” Deepak Mahajan told NYT.

Mamdani: And I think what we've seen under this current administration here in New York City is an unwillingness to stand up for the laws we already have here. We have sanctuary city policies, which used to be defended by Democrats and Republicans alike. These are policies that do not allow ice admission into schools, into hospitals, into any city property or properties of city contractors unless they can show a judicial warrant signed by a judge. And what we know is, time and time again, the videos we're watching, they're not videos of warrants being shown. They are videos of brutal intimidation. And it is time to have a mayor of the city who recognizes this risk is a present day one, and will stand up for each and every one of the 3 million immigrants who call the city home. I'm one of them, and an understanding that an attack on any New Yorker is an attack on the entirety of the city.

The City of San Diego just passed a $25/hr minimum wage for some hotels, Sea World and Petco Park, but not for city workers. According to the City Council, employees at these businesses deserve a “living wage,” but what about workers at the other businesses? What about the workers at City Hall? The City acknowledged they can’t expand this to workers at City Hall because it’s too expensive. If the City is unwilling to subject themselves to their own policy, maybe it’s just bad policy.

Zohran Mamdani just said **with a straight face** that New York City’s sanctuary laws are designed to keep New Yorkers safe. The Ugandan-born mayor is proudly supporting the flooding of America’s largest city with illegal aliens. MAMDANI: “We are proud of the fact that we are a sanctuary city.” “We’re proud of that for a number of reasons.” “One, it is a policy designed to keep New Yorkers safe.” “Two, we know that here in our city, we are proud of the more than 3 million New Yorkers who are immigrants, I’m one of them.” “And we know that in a city like this, it is incumbent upon us to live up to the ideals of the Statue of Liberty, not just tell people to come and look at it when they visit from across the world.”

AOC: And it is a time such as this in which demanding what should be considered the most basic tenets of human dignity is considered a radical and outlandish act. It is a time as today when demanding affordable housing is considered a radical and outlandish act, that being able to afford our lives, our groceries, our transit, is considered an outlandish and radical act. That we accept our neighbor as ourselves — a radical and outlandish act. But we must remember, in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones, New York City. We are not the outlandish, New York City. To demand affordable and decent housing, a decent wage, the right to health care, that we pay to care for our people instead of the flattening of Palestinians and oppressed people abroad is not a radical act — it is basic and core humanity.
