CM Holden hosts rally supporting Ryder’s Law as part of efforts to wind down NYC’s horse carriage industry

Council Member Robert Holden co-hosted a rally outside City Hall last week to call on the City Council to pass Ryder’s Law, which aims to phase out horse-drawn carriages in Central Park and replace them with electric alternatives.

Holden joined Manhattan Council Members Erik Bottcher and Chris Marte outside City Hall on Thursday, Aug. 14 to advocate for the legislation following the death of 15-year-old carriage horse Lady on Aug. 5.
