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.
