The "Duke"
of New York
We were lucky enough to acquire Duke from a broker who was marketing
him for a friend who owns a carriage company and had to sell him due to
a family emergency.
Duke's previous job was as a Central Park carriage horse in New York
City. Duke, as you can imagine, is used to all types of traffic, sirens,
and city noise. At one point in his life as a carriage horse Duke even had to ride on a freight elevator to the stables where he was housed.
Duke is a real lover and meets everyone here at the farm as soon as he
sees them. He always gets close enough to beg for pets and affection.
Duke is a wonderful horse that is a joy to handle in every way. The sure
sign of a horse that has been treated right his whole life. Just the way
we like it.
