Yay, We Won!!
Now Where's My Carrot??
The Lives of NYC Carriage Horses
My Horsey Playlist
Our Little Corner of the World...
...is one of the great "crossroads of the world"! Grand Army Plaza, 5th & 59th, Central Park South, or just "The Plaza" - everyone who comes to NYC expects to see us there, and we don't disappoint!
The True "Hansom Cab"...
...had two wheels, with the driver sitting up top, behind the passengers. Although we are often referred to as "hansom cabs", the name is misnomer, a vestige of the time when this was the vehicle of choice for cabs-for-hire.

Did You Know?
Every road in Central Park was expressly built for horse-drawn carriages, and every vista was conceived & designed by Olmstead & Vaux with that in mind.

LOVE it!!!
I don't know. That looks rather insulting to actual horses' asses.
Bahahaha! Too true, Amber - I certainly would rather look at a horse's ass while I'm driving! LOL
Please, that is an insult to horse butts everywhere. Better to label the produce from said rear end to be 'PeTA.' In fact, I think I shall refer to manure as 'PeTA' from now on. "Excuse me, but I have to go shovel the PeTA out of my stalls."
You know what, Heather? You're right! LOL
Hey, haven't been back for awhile.
Keep up the fight!
