I can't help but feel a tingle at the thought of fulfilling what is pretty much every little kid's dream--riding a gentle giant of a horse into town to buy an ice cream. It's so reassuring to know that that's a real world possibility! I'm not surprised to hear that Belgians are so popular--those lovely flaxen manes, those mealy mouths and round bellies. There was a beautiful shaggy Belgian mare named Bagel at the first stable where I took lessons; you're right, it was exactly like riding a gently heaving couch. At the same stables there lived a Belgian (or perhaps a Belgian cross) named Samson, who was as gentle as could be....but heaven help you if he saw you eating a slice of watermelon. Nothing could stand in his way; he'd bust through locked gates in pursuit of his favorite fruit. Weird horse. Everyone loved him.
When my grandparents were building their lakeside log cabin in 1948 (where the family still vacations), they hired a man with a draft team to bring the logs down from the hillside where they'd cut them down. My mother was about 5 and totally intoxicated by horses and all her life she remembered that team. The man showed them the way once and then stayed on the hillside to cut logs. The team would walk down to the site by themselves, and mom said it was fascinating to watch them when the logs got hung up on brush. They would stop, back up, move to the left or right to free the drag. She got to ride on them a few times and was giddy with joy. She remembered that week her whole life. We also went to a horse pull in Maine during Patten Pioneer Days, at the Lumberman's Museum. The bond between team and man was amazing.
I'm a huge fan of drafts, too - I've always loved big horses. If I were ever to get a horse of my own, it would be a thoroughbred/shire cross. I have fond memories of large horses. When I was taking lessons at our local riding school, back when I was pre/early-teen, I bonded with a 16hh gray tb gelding, one of the largest in the stable. I loved everything about that horse, including his size, but especially his personality. Before him, I won my first every 1st-place ribbon on a Clyde-cross, over cavaletti. They're such affable horses.
Heart defectsAbout 75-80% of children with CHARGE syndrome have congenital heart defects. Although all types of heart defects have been seen in children with CHARGE syndrome, the most common are tetralogy of Fallot (33%), VSD (ventricular septal defect), AV (atriventricular) canal defect, and aortic arch anomalies. The heart defects can range from an innocent murmur to life-threatening heart defects involving the outflow tracts of the heart. Most require medication and/or surgery. Severe heart defects are a major cause of death in children with CHARGE. The heart defects in CHARGE are similar to those seen in Deletion 22q11.2 syndrome.
One of the most important aspects of a new bug, which will determine its entire life cycle, is the steps to reproduce it. Think of it like a treasure hunt on an island, and the reproduction steps are the map. The better and more accurate the map is, the quicker and easier it is to find.Keep that in mind while writing your maps for us so we can always, with your help, find our way out!
I have been riding (I HAVE BEEN RIDING!!) pretty consistently for about 2 months now. I am on cloud 9 about it. I keep starting posts about what we are working on or about D himself, but with it being 2 months in and only one post about my new catch ride, I figured it was time to just post something about how happy I am! Please enjoy the handful of photos from my ride two weeks ago. My hubby offered to come out and take pictures so I had to take advantage of that offer right!Working on forward
I was an urban equestrian. Forced off Staten Island in 1974 as I could see the end coming there . Moved to Long Island for 22 years and than to northern Pennsylvania. Many of us have fled the city...as we want to maintain or equestrian lifestyle. To the activists who think they know all this is not cruelty. Horses love routine, they built NYC~ the horse and the Irish~ take away their contribution and there would not be much left. AS a veterinary assistant I can tell you these horses are well cared for nothing is lacking. There is no abuse or neglect. However, greed, back room political dirty deals, and those who drink the Kool Aid, believe they know more than the horsemen of 59 years of their life. Yes, it is all about the real estate just as it was in Staten Island and Long Island...they have traded hard working taxpayers for those who collect welfare, NYC has an illegal immigrant population of 36% that they know of. Historical buildings and landmark industry in NYC that should be protected and preserved is being persecuted. Once you closed them down and demolish the buildings and more middle class people leave who will support your programs. It should be noted that Steve Nislisk is the founder of NYCLASS, the ASPCA has terminated their own humane officers handing the job over to the over burden NYPD and Humane Society which one...the one who raised millions during Katrina and was not even on the ground down there??? but instead left it to the overburden, understaffed, underfunded local shelters to care for the animals they raised the money to care for. Do you know the ASPCA has a fund raiser who takes 62% of every dollar they collect these days??? Do you even know what is going on in your own city???Once the horses are banned whos' next???? It is only a matter of time. If the ASPCA, Humane Society, and NYCLASS was really worried about stopping animal abuse and cruelty they have their work cut out for them at the NYCACC and their other offices where hundreds of dogs and cats are slaughtered daily with no effort to rehome them. Wake up!
You wouldn't think that closing these stables was such a tragedy if you lived in the W40s and constantly saw carriage drivers push these horses through rush hour traffic, run red lights, wear headphones (!), leave shit piles on the street, and respond to my pleas that "Horses don't belong in traffic" with a hearty, "Fuck you, faggot." I have no pity whatsoever for these drivers.
Excellent article! The carriage horses are being driven out so that wealthy developers can have their stables, and it's all based on a lie. The horses are healthy and live happy useful lives, with loving care from their owners, vets, farriers, dentists and stable staff. It's the horses in forgotten fields in the country people need to worry about.
There is a strictly enforced law that prevents carriage horses working in extreme temperatures. Horses who work are far preferable to being given to slaughterhouses or being "put out to pasture" with no work at all,some on questionable horse rescue farms which can barely patch together enough money to keep going. And being put out to pasture is not idyllic - most grazing animals eat hay, not grass, as there are not enough pastures to feed them, and HORSES PREFER WORK just like working dogs prefer to work too. I am an animal person, but I respect these animals' rights to work and live as they do now. Perhaps all dogs and cats, and police horses,too, in fact while we are at it,all animal life, should be banned from NYC???
The Anonymous posters who think pulling a carriage in NYC is abuse don't know what abuse is. Every knowledgeable horse person, including veterinarians and the NY and NJ Horse Councils support the carriage horse industry. I have 37 yrs experience with horses and live on a farm, and from the descriptions I've read about how the NYC horses live, I can tell you that their quality of life is much better than many "country" horses. People without years of hands on experience should NOT be telling horsemen what horses need.
Hi, thanks for this beautiful piece. What an amazing history the horses and stables have in our city. It really does seem like a class issue to me, where working-class men and women are driven out along with another piece of unique New York culture.You animal rights people claim to care about horses, but these men obviously know more than you about the care and welfare of their animals. Go do your shift at the Park Slope food co op and find some other knee-jerk liberal cause to complain about and do nothing about. Why don't you care about working class people? Anyway, the horses only walk in traffic on their way to the park, and it is clear to me from this article that the men who own these horses LOVE them. Maybe you can put them in your yard with your stupid hipster chickens once they have no homes and jobs. 2b1af7f3a8
