Meet the gentle companions behind every Central Park carriage ride — cared for, respected, and loved.
Every ride through Central Park begins with a healthy, well-rested horse that receives professional veterinary care, daily monitoring, and time away from the city to recharge.
Our welfare standards exceed NYC regulations because respect, compassion, and exceptional care are non-negotiable.
Each horse has a distinct personality. Guests often remember meeting them as much as the park itself.
