Petition: NYC Horse Drawn Carriage Crash Demands Urgent Reform

On May 18, 2026, two carriage horses named Otis and Troy were allegedly forced to work through a heat advisory and poor air quality near Central Park. Troy became spooked, crashed into Otis, and flipped a carriage entirely. A driver was hospitalized. This should never happen.

Animal advocates have long pushed for Ryder’s Law, named after a horse who allegedly collapsed during a summer heat wave. The bill would gradually phase out horse drawn carriages, rehome affected horses, and Support displaced drivers. Yet it remains stalled. NYC streets are loud, chaotic, and dangerous. Horses do not belong there. You can demand Mayor Zohran Mamdani act now by signing the petition, because these animals deserve protection. Add your name and join over 33,000 supporters here now.
