Equestrian+NYC+-+Thursday

November 29, 2012
=== Today we all stayed in. No field trips. We each wrote an essay about "Should New York Keep Their Carriage Horses"? Some people thought that they shouldn't keep horses and others said that they should and many were in between. Then, a guest speaker came from the A.S.P.C.A. her name was Michelle. She talked about what conditions the horses here are in. We got to see how the stables in Manhattan are treated. And later we compared the differences we saw between the stables in Jamaica Bay and what we heard today. Then, we started our final project. We were all thinking about what happened this whole week and looked back and laughed. ===
