NYC Animal Group: Carriage Horses' Water Shut Off

Two Water Troughs In Central Park Disconnected

NEW YORK (AP) ― An animal welfare group claims that carriage horses along Manhattan's Central Park South aren't getting enough drinking water. But the city says that isn't so.

The Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages complained Monday that two water troughs in Central Park have been shut off for the season.

The city's Health Department, which regulates the horses, said plenty of water is available at hydrants used by carriage drivers with buckets.

Officials added that most of the horses weren't working on Monday because of the cold.
