Hopefully NYC will now finally pass Ryder’s Law (named after another carriage horse who died in 2022) and stop this abuse for good.
Following Deniz’s tragic death, Ryder’s Law is being reintroduced. New York City — this is the moment. To recap, on Tuesday, a 16-year-old carriage horse named Deniz collapsed and died in Central Park while still attached to the carriage. The union says he was examined by a vet in March and found fit for duty. He will now be taken to Cornell University to determine what happened. Deniz is the second carriage horse to die in Central Park in less than ten months. A bill called Ryder’s Law — named after that 2022 horse — would have banned horse-drawn carriages in New York City and replaced them with electric alternatives. But that bill was defeated. What do you think about horse-drawn carriages? Would you like to see Ryder’s Law passed?

Yesterday, the Philadelphia City Council voted to ban horse-drawn carriages. Just two days after 16-year-old carriage horse Deniz collapsed while pulling passengers in Central Park and died in agony, NYC stands increasingly alone in continuing to allow this dangerous and inhumane practice. Around the country and around the world, cities have moved beyond horse-drawn carriages. Meanwhile, NYC has endured dozens of runaway crashes, collisions, collapses, and other serious incidents that have injured New Yorkers and put both horses and people at risk. New Yorkers are demanding action. The time for delays is over. Pass #RydersLaw before another horse dies and before another person is injured. @SpeakerMenin @NYCCouncil @Lynn4NYC @NYCMayor

After watching a 16-year-old horse collapse and gruesomely die in public this week, it’s astonishing to see the same tired industry talking points being repeated yet again. There is nothing humane about confining horses in dilapidated warehouse buildings on Manhattan’s far West Side for most of their lives, with no turnout, no freedom of movement, and not even a patch of dirt beneath their feet. These horses are squeezed into stalls that are half the size recommended by equine welfare organizations. And the industry’s claim that they get a “vacation” is deeply misleading. Their so-called vacation is often spent doing hard labor on Amish work farms. A horse rescue organization run by combat veterans called Unbridled Heroes Project conducted an undercover investigation and exposé of these warehouse stables. What they documented was abhorrent: horses confined in tiny stalls inside dilapidated buildings with no turnout and no opportunity to simply be horses. Every New Yorker should see this: nypost.com/2022/08/27/nyc-st… When you combine these conditions with an abysmal lack of veterinary care, it’s no surprise that geriatric horses and horses suffering from serious medical conditions continue receiving clean bills of health by industry or vets, until they collapse on the streets. Deniz is only the latest heartbreaking example. Just yesterday, Philadelphia voted to ban horse-drawn carriages. New York City is becoming an increasingly glaring outlier by allowing an industry that puts both horses and people at risk. Horses are prey animals who instinctively bolt when frightened. That’s why we’ve seen dozens of runaway crashes that have sent people to the hospital and nearly killed others. A recent Zogby poll found that 78% of New Yorkers want these horses off our streets, and it’s not hard to see why.
