Central Park's iconic horse-drawn carriages face a definitive ban after 150 years of operation, following a newly reached agreement among stakeholders. A formal vote is scheduled for October 22 to finalize the cessation of the carriage trade, which is set to take effect in the year 2028.

The impending ban represents a major milestone for animal rights advocates who have long campaigned against the use of carriage horses in New York City. The agreement concludes a long-running debate over animal welfare concerns and the modernization of Central Park's tourism offerings.
