Tender Hooves, Loving Hearts: The Art of Caring for Horses
Caring for a horse is more than a responsibility; it’s a profound bond between human and animal, built on trust, respect, and unwavering love. Horses, these magnificent creatures, grace our lives with their elegance and teach us the true meaning of companionship. Caring for a horse goes beyond the basics of food, water, and shelter. It involves understanding their unique personalities, recognizing their needs, and ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. It’s the gentle touch during grooming, the soothing voice in times of distress, and the patient training that fosters a sense of security and mutual understanding. Proper nutrition, regular exercise, and veterinary care are essential, but equally important is the emotional connection we cultivate. Horses thrive on attention and kindness, responding to our moods and emotions with an innate sensitivity. Caring for these majestic beings is a humbling experience, teaching us patience, empathy, and the art of silent communication.…
Pets Goes Viral for playing Ping pong
I have played against many people ping pong, from in the best tables Stiga, until in tables of made wood, in-house, as it is to play with a human sometimes, it can be more comfortable, that to play with an animal. I have seen many players at the best tables to play ping pong in tunes using all kinds of tables and rackets, we all have patterns, pressure, and things that can help another competitor to take advantage and win the game. Playing against an animal is different since he does not feel pressure, he has fun, in my case my cat was an expert especially inmates, I could never return one. Another aspect is its attributes as such, the reflexes and physical strength of an animal, sometimes give it an advantage, for example, the reactions of my cat were almost immediate, each ball that sent returned it, its feline…
Tragedy in Midtown
At approximately 8:30 AM Sunday, October 23rd, a horse driving a carriage collapsed and died on 54th Street. The horse had just left the stable on the way to Central Park. The sudden death of any horse is very uncommon, and this death is a reminder of why we cannot allow carriage horses to work these harsh city streets any longer. Now is the time for us to push the City Council to act on Intro 86. Please call the City Council members who haven’t committed to ending horse abuse yet, then let us know what they said.

Solution
NYCLASS supports a full ban of horse carriages in New York City. We believe there are viable alternatives to carriage horses that will not only relieve the City government from its financial burden, but will also avoid the safety and quality of life issues caused by the horse carriages. However, achieving our long-term goal of a ban will take time and hard work. In the short term, the City needs to take immediate action to improve the safety of the horse carriages and protect passengers. Over time, NYCLASS supports replacing horse carriages with “Green” replica classic cars. These cars can provide rides for tourists, offer jobs to workers currently in the horse carriage industry with the potential for higher wages, and maintain the historic and romantic feel of the tours. Clean Horse carriages currently leave a foul odor in the area around where they park and cause health and sanitation…
