There used to be horse and carriage stuff down on the san antonio riverwalk. Going down town there is dumb, gay, humid, gay, waste of time, and gay. BUT at least you would get to hear the horse hoofs echoing around and bouncing off the buildings.NinjaPoodle wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2026 6:13 pm New York bans horses.

On Thursday, New York City Council voted to pass a ban on the carriages, beginning in June 2028. The proposal is backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who said he will help develop a transition plan for workers in the industry.
But then the "using horses for work is cruelty" mind virus spread through here back in 2023 or so and the city council voted to ban all horses from down town. They then conveniently provided instructions to all the carriage owners on how to become compliant using an electric version of a horse carriage (complete with what manufactures to buy from)
No one really seemed to complain either
