ClipClopNYC Stable Tours and Lunch

Come see for yourself how the celebrated carriage horses of New York live and work!
This year's event features tours of both Clinton Park Stables and West Side Livery. Together, these two stables in Manhattan's famous Hell's Kitchen neighborhood house approximately 75% of our amazing carriage horses.
The Horse and Carriage Association welcomes you to an open house at Clinton Park Stables on 52nd St., followed by a bus trip down to West Side Livery on 38th St. for a chance to meet our horses, their… Show more vets, farriers and caretakers, and members of the industry.
More than half of NYC's carriage horses call Clinton Park Stables home. Clinton Park Stables opened in 2003 in a stable that was originally built in the early 20th century to house the freight horses for a cardboard company. The second-largest carriage stable in New York is West Side Livery, a Hell's Kitchen institution, which has housed horses since its construction in the 1860s. Like every New York City carriage stable, both stables have been modernized for the latest in urban horse-keeping.
Come climb the famous ramps for the horses who live upstairs. Check out the sprinkler system and the misting fans... and find out how we deal with manure from keeping 150 carriage horses in the middle of midtown Manhattan.
Bring your camera and your questions! After tours of both stables, we'll have lunch at Clinton Park Stables.
This event is FREE.
