bigapplehorse commented on De Blasio criticizes Quinn via horse-drawn-carriage legislation

It is no coincidence that the founder of NYCLASS owns eventing horses and is a real estate developer (Edison Properties, Manhattan Mini Storage, etc). The carriage barn land would be mighty appealing for Nislick. Check out Michael Gross' article, "It's Parkingtown, Jake" http://mgross.com/gripebox/its-parkingtown-jake/

NYCLASS would like for the general public to not know that there are city regulations in place regarding heat extremes. The NYC Dept of Health regulates that horses may not work when it is 90 degrees or above, or 18 degrees or below. I'm sure Bloomberg's daughter has ridden her show jumpers above 90 degrees with no problem. NYC carriage horses have an easy job by comparison. They are not galloping a speed course of 4 to 5 foot fences, they are taking a leisurely walk in Central Park.

Whoa! I better go tell the horses in Arizona, Florida, Abu Dhabi and Mexico that it's too hot, they're gonna die! The mustangs in the West need air conditioning, too.
