The good news is that the horse managed to get back up after a while.
The horse-drawn carriage debate revived
The union in charge of the horse-drawn carriages cites as the cause of the discomfort a neurological disease from which Ryder would suffer, reports the Gothamist news site. A smoky explanation for city councilor Robert Holden, who is seeking to ban this means of locomotion, and whose reaction Gothamist has also collected.
Several associations for the defense of animal rights, including Peta, point to an exhaustion of the animal directly due to the heat and are also calling for the outright disappearance of horse-drawn carriages in this American metropolis.
