Horse diving began in the 1880s, inspired by William “Doc” Carver after his horse jumped off a bridge into a river. The act became a spectacle, with horses leaping from platforms into water, mainly in places like Atlantic City. Though risky, riders were more often injured than the horses. By the 1970s, the practice declined due to growing animal rights concerns. A brief attempt to revive it in 2012 was shut down by welfare advocates. | History In Pictures

Horse diving was a popular but controversial attraction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most famously featured on Atlantic City’s Steel Pier. The act involved a horse and rider climbing a tall platform—sometimes as high as 40–60 feet—and then leaping into a pool of water below. Promoters marketed it as a thrilling display of courage and trust between rider and animal, and crowds were drawn to the spectacle’s mix of danger and novelty. Over time, the practice drew significant criticism
