NYC's Carriage Horses

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 25, 2022

Catalina Gonella, reporter at the WNYC Newsroom and Gothamist, joins to discuss how the carriage horse who recently collapsed in Hell's Kitchen has reignited the conversation on whether horses should be pulling carriages in the city at all.  Callers include Queens Councilmember Robert Holden, who has sponsored a bill to switch to electric carriages, and carriage horse driver Christina Hansen, a member of TWU Local 100.
