OUR CENTRAL PARK HORSES
We consider our horses to be our partners and best friends, and make sure they are happy and healthy.
- Our horses are never at work more than eight hours in any continuous twenty-four hour period.
- We make sure our horses receive treats and frequent water breaks while working.
- All of our horses are examined by a licensed veterinarian every 4 to 6 months, in addition to the yearly examination.
- Our horses are never younger than five years to be placed into service and not older than 20 years.
- Our horses receive new horseshoes and trimmings every 4-6 weeks and we make sure they fit them well.
- For our horses from November through April, heavy winter blankets are always available in cold weather to cover them from crest to rump.
- Additionally waterproof blankets of lighter material are always available for them when it is raining and the temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
- We don’t operate when temperatures reach near 19 or 89 degrees or during severe weather conditions.
- Our horses receive no less than five weeks of vacation or furlough every twelve months at a horse farm facility in Catskills or Poconos.
