Horses in Central Park

Tweet

I was reading a news thing where this guy, I think actor, was saying he was sleeping where they kept the horses in Central Park. Okay.... Sometime around the time my parents met, I think after they married and probably after they went to Colorado so Dad could get his Masters. But, you know, before kids. Still, this was the time frame when Mom rode a horse in Central Park. They lived in North Jersey, so not as crazy as you might think. And that was the only time Mom rode a horse until she decided to go on a horse/camping trip in Yellowstone, with my sister. Mom looked around to try and find someone to give her lessons on riding. Not English like I had learned, nope, they were camping in Yellowstone. But she asked me to come along to the first interview with the lady. She confessed to her the only time she had been on a horse was in her twenties and now she was in her 60s, maybe early 70s, but I don't think so. The lady kind of looked at me, probably wondering why I was along, but she mostly talked to Mom. Still, I had always kind of wondered where the horses were kept for them in Central Park, so I went and looked. If you want to know, I'd advise you to look it up on your own. I just wanted to tell the story about Mom and the horse in Central Park Any of you live in the area? Have you ridden a horse there? The only horse in a park I've ever ridden was in Brackenridge Park in San Antonio. They don't do that anymore. And that is a story for another day!
