I can’t speak for NYC, but I rode a carriage once in Charleston, SC. .
Highly regulated by the State. They can only work a few hours a day and get pampered like you wouldn’t believe. They are constantly monitored by State officials, and each individual ride must stop by a State-run checkpoint to log the name of the animals and then randomly draw a route they will travel.
I can only assume NY would be as tough, if not tougher on the operations
If one leaves a dropping, the horseman makes a call, and within minutes, a crew arrives to clean up the mess.
Lots of jobs will be lost, but the Mayors buds will get a shot at the prime Real Estate that the carriage houses and stables now sit on.
