Claremont Riding Stables - 89th St. between Amsterdam and Broadway. At this 116 year
old facility, I shod 50 horses over a 5 year period and had a shop in the basement of
the stables, a great learning experience. I tended to every horse experiencing
concussion-related issues. Most of their riding was on unforgiving NYC streets.
The stables closed its doors in 2007 and the building is being converted to condominiums.

Pulling up my driveway, hope I have a cold one in the 'fridge.
