With a frosting of snow on the ground Horsetalk meets up with Brendan Thierren of Manhattans famous Central Park Carriage Tours to learn about the standards and practices to keep a horse safe in the big apple. According to their website Central Park Carriages at 212-736-0680 "No single other activity can match a carriage ride through Central Park. Reminiscent of a past age when carriages were the choice form of transportation along the busy streets of New York a ride through the Park makes you feel as if you've suddenly been transported back into time. With the rhythmic beating of the horse’s hoofs on the black pavement a visitor can sit back and be enchanted by what awaits them on their short tour of the most traveled areas of the Park."
