On Thursday, Nov. 6, the former child actress who played Laura Ingalls Wilder, now 61, took to Instagram with a blunt video about a law that aims to protect carriage horses in NYC.
“This message is for New York City Council Speaker Adams," Gilbert began in the clip. "Speaker Adams, it has been brought to my attention that you are single-handedly blocking Ryder’s Law—even going so far as to block a hearing on it. That is unacceptably cruel, corrupt and undemocratic.”
To conclude her video, Gilbert declared, "Speaker Adams, this insanity must stop. As a resident of New York, I demand that you schedule a hearing immediately so that the people can vote on Ryder's Law."
View this post on InstagramGilbert's advocacy for carriage horses in NYC through Ryder's Law came on the heels of the actress sending a different political message on Election Day.
In August 2025, the Central Park Conservancy sent a letter to the City Council saying that horse carriages have an impact on public safety, with Elizabeth Smith, the conservancy’s CEO, arguing, “We can’t be just frozen in time.”
Smith noted that many cities are in the process of ending the industry, with Chicago and Montreal banning it since 2021, and San Antonio passing a five-year phase-out.
