The slave drivers are gearing up for another steamy summer. This is Tenth Avenue, around 44th Street. The general vicinity of one of the most gruesome carriage horse spooking accidents in recent memory, the accident that killed a young horse named Spotty in 2006. I've got plenty of spies in Hell's Kitchen and the one who snapped this photo tells me that this horse was making very good time making his way up the avenue. Hope the driver is watching out for those post-winter epic potholes.

someone contacted me a while ago and said she saw a horse GALLOPING down 9th avenue late at night, attached to his carriage. This person knows the difference between walking, cantering and trotting. She complained to the ASPCA and copied me. Dr. Pam Corey did not believe her and felt compelled to explain, in a condescending manner, the difference between these different gaits. I think Pam Corey is probably never out at night watching these law breakers.
