NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Central Park is jumping into the equestrian business.
Donald Trump and event organizers announced Tuesday that the first Central Park Horse Show will be held Sept. 17-21 at Trump Rink, 1010 WINS’ Juliet Papa reported.
“It’s intended to sort of restore the magic of New York City as the hub, the pinnacle, of equestrian sport,” show organizer Mark Bellissimo, told WCBS 880. “In the late 1800s through 2001, the National Horse Show was in Madison Square Garden, and left. It left a big void in the market, and we’re trying to sort of restore that in a different venue.”
