NYC carriage horse collapses and dies in Central Park, traumatizing parkgoers
“That horse, without a doubt, had an agonizing death right in front of everyone. People will never forget seeing that happen,” NYCLASS Executive Director Edita Birnkrant told The Post.
125 years ago. NYC was ALL Horses. I lived on a farm in Quebec and I asked the farmer, what was the first thing they grew on the farm. He said "Hay", that all got shipped to New York City.
Died suddenly. .....
Vaxx is safe and effective. Not horsepaste. [/s]
Oh right.
The beasts have been pushing vaccines on animals for some time now. My guess is Seabiscuit there got his jab(s) and this is the result. RIP 🐎
The reason this is being pushed .Is because NYC is trying to outlaw horse carriages . with a bill currently in legislation. Problem Reaction Solution. This has been the playbook for decades.
It has been in the works for a very long time. It is the same BS. At this point, I do not exclude someone harming the carriage horses.
Well I guess, as a whole, horses are treated better today than they have been for thousands of years. Armies would run them to death, switch horses, run them to death again. Horses are beautiful creatures. Still sad to see. But it happens. It’s kinda weird how nowadays humans are more attached to animals than their own kind. We’re more kind to animals. Defending of animals. Respectful. I mean of course there are “those” stories, I mean as a whole. You can take a person who has never owned a horse, cry over this picture here. But hearing about an infant torn apart in a murderous procedure called abortion, they just scroll to the next topic. Unaffected.
Then there's halal.
"The cause of the horse’s death, or its age, is not yet known."
But get rid of carriages horses for once and for all. His death traumatized park goers.
I was an ignorant lout when I was there using the carriage. They really mistreat the horses.
Maybe ppl should go to amish country rather than central park to see horses.
LOL. Right.
A wee bit of looking into Amish horses might convince you otherwise.
In what way is that animal mistreated? Is it overworked? Underfed? Underweight? Is it made to work in extreme temperatures? Is it made to pull loads that exceed 2.5 times it's weight? Does it have to wear a bearing rein?
Could you elaborate, please?
Too much Beef-a-rino

This also happened in affluent Cape May NJ I think two summers ago.
Sometimes horses die.
I never ride the carriages because I just end up feeling bad for them.
Im nauseous. This is wrong 😕
Worked to death.
Please take a look at the photo of the horse on the ground and let me know how many ribs you can count. It's ok, I'll wait.
Starvation is not the only way to kill a horse. Over worked, dehydration and heat exhaustion from the heat index is more common. These actions cause colic where the gas is trapped in the intestines and the horse cannot remove it. The pain so severe it's unbearable. Then add grain only to their diet and no foliage and water? Impaction of the manure, disaster waiting to happen. Most horse people know about this and it's our biggest fear.
How did you find out that this horse was on a grain-only diet? Was this animal denied water? Do you actually have access to the stable?
The city approved it being on the street in excess of the city's temperature regulations.
How did that happen, and could you please post the source on that?
The only source I have is from 48 years experience training show horses. They are herbivores. 80% hay and 20% gain. When hay is restricted, the grain builds gas in their intestines and they can't get rid of it. When they sweat and lose water in their bodies and add no foliage to their diet, their stool becomes hardened and they can't pass it. Now you have an impacted intestine, gas from the grain and you have the recipe for death or surgical intervention. If they survive. This happens allot and it's called colic. I unfortunately witnessed this at a horse show where the owner ran out of hay for three days and continued to feed grain. Found the dead horse in his stall with marks on the walls from rearing up and hitting the walls with their hooves. That poor horse died a painful death. I have no idea what this horse died of but my experience guessed this is a high probability.
In your first post the claim (without any evidence) was that this horse was "worked to death" now you claim he colicked? Those a pretty different diagnosis.
Just like you. An opinion. I'm a horsewoman for 48 yrs. My father was a Veterinarian. I have no idea what that house died from but it's common in the horse competition precaution world and non competitive horse owners that this is a high risk. As for the feed, I've seen it happen with my own eyes this happens when hay is so expensive now that they cut back and just give grain. Grain produces gas.
Not saying it was a good thing, and Mamdani is a 5th column piece of shit, but linking a horse death to him seems tenuous at its face. We have to continue to apply logic, reasoning, and the Socratic method to these situations. If we don't we sound like we have TDS except for conservatives.
Awful. This happens every year with proof of abuse and nothing ever happens.
Gosh, I had no idea there was proof of abuse. Could you post that for us, please?

Those horses live miserable lives. Imagine living your whole horse life standing on a hot street in a polluted city all day. Only giving occasional rides to tourists.
What makes you think that the image in your mind is the reality of the horse's experience?
This is total nonsense. The horse was sick or dehydrated. Abuse of these animals by one man (if he abused it) shouldn’t be attributed to years of tradition. Mandami didn’t do a darn thing stupid to blame him.
There has been a long-standing effort to get the horses out of Central Park and install Model-T era miniature electric car rides. The company that owns/operates this equipment is related to New York politicians. Quelle surprise!
I have not kept up with CP/horse news but last check they are monitored by the city, air temp is taken next to them so that they can't work outside the proscribed range, water is available, and health and shoes are monitored by the city.
Carriage Operators of North America (CONA) are the main body in the US, and while I doubt they are open to discussion with non-members at the moment, they are likely to have some good information on their website.
Whipping up emotion is very old and very tiresome.
If anybody has an actual carriage or draft question, I am happy to oblige.
