Despite spending months forging a deal that fell apart a day before the City Council vote, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio reportedly is not giving up on his bid to limit Central Park’s carriage horses.

The American Horse Council has tracked the declining numbers of horse ownership since the early 20th century. Fewer owners means less exposure to horses for the general public.
Mayor Bill de Blasio is pulling back the reins on his plans to quickly get rid of New York City's horse-drawn carriage industry, stung by a recent outpouring of support for the colorful coaches that have clip-clopped their way through Central Park for more than 150 years.
