Bradford Metropolitan District Council has axed the Horses at Work attraction at Bradford Industrial Museum.
The unit costs Bradford Council about £154,000 a year. It is still in consultation with the four affected members of staff and external organisations that have expressed an interest in the museum’s two Clydesdale horses.
Tony Stephens, assistant director for culture and tourism at Bradford council, said: “The retirement of the horses from the Industrial Museum is part of the £80m in savings that the council has to make over the next two years.”
In May, the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds decided to outsource its jousting events, and made all nine of its horse-riders, actors and stable staff redundant.
