Dr. Mark Jordan, the head of an equine veterinary practice in Carmel, Putnam County, visited one of New York City’s stables and was surprised to find the horses were living in appropriate conditions and receiving excellent care. BY Dr. Dr. Mark Jordan is a horse owner and the head of an equine veterinary practice in Carmel, Putnam County. Last month, I accepted an open invitation to visit some of the city’s carriage horses at the Clinton Park stable. As the head of an equine veterinary practice in Carmel, Putnam County, I have been examining and treating horses for more than 32 years. I felt it was my responsibility to investigate the horses’ treatment from my own perspective as a veterinarian, horseman and advocate of animal rights. The purpose of this visit was to evaluate the horses’ living conditions as well as their current health. These horses are living happy lives with owners who truly care for their well-being. Before our trip to the city stable, my colleague, Dr. Michelle Singer, and I were both skeptical of the care that these horses were receiving. But we were pleasantly surprised by what we found. Contrary to what many may believe about these horses and the environment that they live in, the horses are in good health and are living in an appropriate stable with excellent care. These horses are being treated with pride and compassion, often by their individual owners/drivers. These horsemen provide care for these horses on a daily basis. On the days the horses do not provide carriage rides in Central Park, they are hand-walked to make sure they are out of the stall and exercised every day. Julia Xanthos/New York Daily News Media were given a tour today of Clinton Park stables on W. 52nd St. in March, and Jordan and his colleague visited the horses to evaluate their condition for themselves.

Next Enlarge Contrary to my preconceived thoughts, these horses do not live in straight stalls in which they are unable to move or lie down. Instead, the horses were housed in comfortable, clean, spacious box stalls, which allowed them to lie down in comfortable dry bedding. The box stalls are also large enough to allow the horses to move freely. The horses are also being provided with quality food and water throughout the day. Mayor de Blasio and activists say it's inhumane to have horses on the street, but Jordan, a vet, says the horses are happy and in good health. After my first visit, I returned unannounced to talk with management and personal horse owners to better understand their perspective. Upon arriving, I still found the stables to be in the same good conditions that I had observed in the initial visit. During this second visit, after the stable inspection, I observed some of the horses arriving back from the park and other horses being hitched up to go out to the park. The horses did not appear at all overworked upon their return, and the outgoing horses were ready to take their shift.

The horses at Central Park all were in good weight, well shod, and prepared for their carriage work that day. After much investigation, it was clear to me these horses are living happy lives with owners who truly care for their well-being. These owners/drivers are proud of their animals and provide them with excellent care on a daily basis. I strongly support the continuation of these carriage horses in New York City as an equine veterinarian, long-time horse owner and horseman. These horses are being loved and cared for earnestly and deserve the right to continue on as a historic tradition of the city.
