I speculate VERY strongly it's about getting the horses out of the city. The laws and regulations for NY carriage horses are substantial. They get 5 weeks vacation, can only work in certain temps, they have health checks (same Vet as the mounted police), on road inspections, water troughs at their waiting area, etc, etc. They may spend off time in a stall, but so do racehorses.
The bill being pushed was defeated, then this incident, and pushing the bill again. Somebody really wants those horses GONE.
