The owner of Kensington Stables is saying proposed Health Dept. rules might force him to close up shop, according to the Daily News: “A Brooklyn stable owner is neighing that proposed city Health Department changes requiring five-week vacations for horses, bigger stalls and a sprinkler system in barns would saddle him with a financial disaster. ‘I want to keep horseback riding affordable for Brooklyn families, but I don’t see how I can do that,’ said Kensington Stables owner Walker Blankinship. ‘What am I supposed to do – become a ritzy, snobby barn that charges $100?'” The Health Dept. says the news regs have yet to be finalized and that some version of them is going to be proposed at the next Board of Health meeting.

Kens, your horse is looking for you. Better get home fast, before your goat joins the search party.

Of course, what would the horses do on vacation? Stay tied up in the stall? Yeah, I’d bet they’d love that.
Not only is he tied up illegally, he’s in violation of alternate parking, he’s blocking the crosswalk, and he’s littering. Bet he’s stealing city water too. Nor is he wearing a helmet. $5000 in fines, pls, I’m calling 311.

Do the horses get time-and-a-half for working on Sundays? This is NYC, after all.
