🚨We found this horse today in obvious pain - he can’t bend his right hind leg and appears to have other injuries.
Imagine his agony forced to pull a heavy carriage all day in pain.

warns about dangerous heat today but NYC carriage horses are currently roasting under a broiling sun with no relief.
🚨Street level temps can be 45° hotter than air temps - blazing heat radiates onto their bodies from the asphalt.

Temps in the 90s are sticking around this week.
High temps can be particularly dangerous – and sometimes fatal. Learn how to keep yourself, your loved ones, and your community safe with resources and options at

🚨HELP! We just witnessed a clearly distressed horse spooking with passengers who had to jump out the carriage. The driver took off and is likely in Midtown traffic with the terrified horse. This is how horses & people are injured/killed.
