San Antonio City Council members and members of the public discussed the future of horse drawn carriages in San Antonio during a council committee meeting on Tuesday.

A council vote on the issue won’t be held until later this year, but members of the council’s Transportation and Infrastructure Committee held a briefing about the proposed policy to end San Antonio’s horse drawn carriage industry and establishing a “just transition” for workers employed in those businesses to find other work.

Owners and drivers of horse drawn carriages said there was misinformation circulating about their horses’ wellbeing, driven by social media videos and a lack of information about horses.

Katie Jarl, an animal welfare advocate focused on horses, said the horses experienced harmful working conditions and that horse drawn carriages should be banned.

“San Antonio’s downtown streets have outgrown the ability to accommodate the horse carriages safely,” she said.

Get Fiesta ready and purchase your 2024 King William Fair medal for $10 and Pin for $5 at the KWA Office, 122 Madison St., or online. Show your Fiesta spirit, and buy yours today!

Inspired by King William historic homes, the KWF medal is made of wood and is called a “woodallion.” The woodallion features the Alexander Joske House, built in 1881 in historic King William. It is eco-friendly sourced from raw wood and made in the U.S.A.

The 2024 Fair medal celebrates longtime KWA member, resident and neighborhood pioneer Jessie Simpson who owned the Joske House before her passing in 2023. Jessie spent 50 years restoring and preserving a dozen historic homes in KW including the Joske House, doing much of the work herself. The Joske House is a brick masonry Neoclassical home featuring a hand-carved wood door with limestone basket arch, Ionic columns, carriage house, and a Texas red granite curb. Originally constructed for $2,000, the Joske family (of the famed Joske Bros. department store in downtown San Antonio from 1888-1987) purchased the home in 1892 for $9,000.

Also available is a limited edition 2024 KWF pin featuring a ticket design with the wording “I survived 2023.” This celebrates the return of paper tickets to this year’s Fair in response to our loyal fairgoers who experienced the frustration of the 2023 cashless device wristbands. Paper tickets are used to purchase food/beverages and activities in Kid’s Kingdom.

Buy today at https://www.kwfair.org/p/other.
