Prospect Park horse parade taps into Brooklyn’s equestrian roots
Joggers and cyclists cocked their heads in Prospect Park on Saturday when a line of horses trotted past them. The four-legged animals were marching in Brooklyn’s first equestrian rally since the 1930s.
The parade was one of the first steps at promoting the re-invigoration of Prospect Park’s once-rich equestrian culture, helmed by John Quadrozzi Jr.
“For us, this is an important point,” Quadrozzi said. “We’re looking to focus on the prominence of horseback riding in Prospect Park.”
