Someone wants the land where the horses are stabled. He has added a million of his own dollars to get rid of the stables, and develop the land. He is a crook.

The bad guy in this drama, according to the carriage drivers, is Steve Nislick, chief executive officer of a New Jersey-based real-estate development company, Edison Properties.
Currently, the stables consist of 64,000 square feet of valuable real estate on lots that could accomodate up to 150,000 square feet of development. These lots could be sold for new development

These horses will go to slaughter if they lose their "jobs."
Most horses like the routine of doing something. Hauling a light carriage is not serious work for a 1200 pound horse, so do not imagine that they are suffering. 100 years ago, when most urban transport of goods moved by horse power, draft horses did suffer; they pulled heavy loads in all weather, and slipped and fell onto the pavement when the streets were icy. They had hard lives. But the carriage horses always look to be in great condition, and they are hardly worked at all.

New Yorkers that voted for him are getting what they deserve. I don’t feel sorry for them at all. Wonder how many of the drivers of the buggies voted for DeBlassio? I hate to see them lose their jobs.
