Carriage rides along the drives, strolls through the Rambles and light refreshments in the pavilions made the Park a popular destination. For others, the bridle paths provided an afternoon of horse riding away from the routine of everyday life." <br /><br />- This still holds true today! The bridle paths in Central Park are still precious, as is the modern NYC horse & carriage business. Long may they stay!<br /><br />Thank you - Alison Clarke, SE Regional Director, NYS Horse Council<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532599712418481164noreply@blogger.com
