A carriage horse named Lady, aged 15, died from an aortic rupture linked to a small adrenal gland tumor while in Manhattan. The union representing carriage drivers provided details of the necropsy results and expressed mourning for Lady's loss. An examination conducted by Cornell University did not yield immediate red flags, and the union condemned animal rights activists for their responses. Lady had just begun working in New York City after being sold at auction and had passed a required physical exam prior to her rides.
"This was a tragic and sad loss, and we are all mourning Lady's death. However, at least we now have some answers. The reality is that this sudden-death medical episode would kill a horse anywhere - in a field, park, stable, trail, or street - at any time."
"They repeatedly demonize blue-collar carriage-horse drivers, many of whom chose their line of work because they love animals and want to spend their days with them."
