In New York the growing pastime is horseback riding after late suppers, with riders mainly businessmen using central park bridle paths before dawn. Stables nestle between apartment buildings, offering rides that cost from $50 a month and include grooming services, vet care, and saddle horses valued from $250 to $500, reflecting rising urban interest in equine leisure.
The article notes extensive equestrian facilities in Central Park west with hour rates and a large acre of stables, plus southern park stables charging from 2.50 dollars an hour. It highlights costs from riding habits to incidental expenses and mentions blacksmiths near stables and a stray line about the black-faced devil in Longfollow's poem.
