[tecumsea]

I will be coming back to the city in January. The dates are 15-19. I was woundering if anyone wants to get together? I will be home to visit the parental units and since I will have to be out of horse people contact with them I thought I could get my fix through you . http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I doubt you had me in mind since I'm a newbie http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif but I'd love to meet up with any & all COTH people in the area! Its so rare that I get to talk to horsey people besides my trainer....http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[horsegirl33]

Haha, well I'm in the very near NYC area and like nycjumper said...I'm a newbie but wouldn't mind talking to some horsie people either! My best horse friend is backpacking around the states for a YEAR so I have NO ONE to blab my horse stories too!! It's frustrating!! haha!

Everyone is included, even the newbies. Yes as the time draws near we need to set a time and date. Is Claremont still really the only place aroud?

[nycjumper]

Claremont is the only one in the city. They do allow you to take horses out on your own if you're an experienced rider.
Perhaps we could do a group COTH ride in Central Park?

[horsegirl33]

i LOVE that idea! we should all get together and ride in Central Park. I haven't done it yet (all my horse friends don't live in the area! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif ) but have wanted to find people to go with!

***God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses***

woohoo one activity planned! Now should we do the drinking befor or after? Remember I am the eventer so I kind of need to drop, drink, flip, drink. Now the DQ I believe need to drink ride in circles and puke, the hunters need to pose lose drink, did I forget anyone. We may have to coordinate the drinking a little but I am sure we can. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Off of this topic, but since we've got all the NY people here...

I'm going to NYC this weekend and was wondering if there are any stores up there even remotely similar to a tack store.

~MP

All I want is a helicopter and my own personal Moe's restaurant, but APPARENTLY that's too much to ask for.

http://community.webshots.com/user/starmite

[Phaxxton]

there's a millers saddlery in nyc.

[horsegirl33]

well we can always go on a little bar tour http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif hit up a bar before, do our thing, take a break, drink a little on the trail, ride, and then after we're all done...find a new hot spot. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

ok...on a more serious note...http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif has anyone ridden in central park?? I've heard good and bad so what have you guys heard? one of my best friends is pissed that she can't come...I had told her about going (even it was just her and me) so she made me call the barn....you have to know how to walk trot and canter without stirrups comfortably before they'd let ya go out. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif she only started riding again this summer so the whole no stirrup thing isn't makin her happy. i feel bad...but i told her i'd go with you guys and then go again after she gets better! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Oh! and the millers website for the one in nyc i'm pretty sure is www.millersnyc.com (http://www.millersnyc.com)

[timedjumpoff]

Millers is out of business but I hear there's a new tackshop at the same location (24th St. between Park & Third).

Claremont, hmmmm, definitely would require at least one drink before, and I'm not much of a drinker! Seriously, I haven't ridden in the Park since way before I started taking real lessons or owned a horse. I went out with a group into the park one evening and got bucked off the horse midway thru the ride. I got a bloody nose and a few bruises but was too afraid to get back on the horse so the leader (owner Paul Novagrad) took him and told me to find my way back to the barn from the Park, and by then it was getting pretty dark. Not a great expeience and I never went back. Then again I was really a novice and shouldn't have been allowed to go out on a horse that had a tendency to buck (which I learned later). I think I could handle a ride there now however.

I used to live in Manhattan, but now live in Bayside, have my horses in Long Island, and
work that takes me to LI, NYC and NJ.

[marta]

wow this sounds exciting. would love to meet some COTHers, too.

[DancingPretense]

So when do we do it?

I went to the tack shop where millers use to be and they had nothing when I was there. I actually walked out without buying anything, my husband was shocked. But that was right around the time they were going from Millers to Copperfield's or something like that.

Make sure you go to FAO Schwartz! Going out of business sale! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif My all time favorite FAO toy (which I never did get...) was a life-sized horse, complete with tack!

[Merlin]

Ugh, FAO is a nightmare right now - I was there yesterday for a secret santa gift- the things people will do for 10% off!

[horsegirl33]

I heard the horses are very well taken care of. The horses that we 'rent' are also their school horses that they use in their lesson program. Then again...this is all of what I've heard though. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Oh damn! I totally forgot...when I called to see about me and my friend going, they said they don't allow people out if there's snow on the trails or if it's icy. Sooooo....if we were gonna do this in January...it better get a little warmer to melt everything! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

***God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses***

[nycjumper]

I have to say I've heard mixed things about how the horses are treated at Claremont. However, given it's a barn in the middle of the city, I think they do the best with what they can (no turnout for example).
Drinks - well, I'm an h/j girl with dreams of eventing - might be complicated figuring out when I should be having cocktails http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif!
I do live RIGHT in the neighborhood (3 blocks away from Claremont) so I would be more than happy to show you all the local watering holes where I ocassionally (cough, cough) http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif partake of some fine beverages!

Anyone want to pick a day?

[horsegirl33]

I think it's up to tecumsea! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Unless we want to all get together before hand and then again with her! Like I said before, don't know if we'll be able to ride at Claremont in Jan so we might just have to hit up all those watering holes that you 'occasionally' go to!

***God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses***

[tecumsea]

I will be home thursday the 15 to monday the 19. I was thinking a friday or sat. Both work for me. The family get together is sunday so I really can't blow them off. I guess we need to wait till january to see what the weather will do. So vote for a day and a possible get together time. !!!! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[horsegirl33]

ahhh...the joys of being bored at work...http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif constantly on COTH...

I'm hoping for Saturday. I work full time so Friday would be kinda rough for me, especially if we want to do anything other then go to dinner! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

ohh fun!

I rode at Claremont about six years ago and it was a BLAST!

The horse I rode was very well trained, and in excellent weight and health. I was actually SHOCKED at how soft he was in my hands. A little on the lazy side, but that is to be expected (I was not taking lessons, so my leg was like a wet noodle).

We started off in their teeny arena, once they saw that we could handle the horses they let us go off on our own through the streets of NYC and into the park.

The only caution I have is that you need to review your stopping mechanism before you turn around and head back to the barn. They like to pick up "some speed" on their way back!

Do they still have that Chelsea Pier thing going on? I lived there when they were opening and seriously considered buying a membership. Didn't happen tho, but oo I was so tempted!

I think chelsea pier went bankrupt. I do not know if they still operate. But the national horse show was there this year.

[nycjumper]

National Horse Show was in midtown, not Chelsea Piers. It was at Pier 94 (edited) the one right by where all the cruise ships dock. T

Nope, CP went bankrupt. They left a lot of VERY unhappy people who had paid a good deal of money up front. nyc_rider who posts on here was one of the ones who got burned http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_mad.gif I belive the NYPD mounted unit is stabled at CP now.

Saturday the 17th it is then. Depending on weather, we can either do riding/drinks or just dinner/drinks http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Yeah - my first COTH get together!!! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Chelsea Piers is 22nd or 23rd. Forget which http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[horsegirl33]

i thought CP is still there....??? not the horses but I thought all the gyms and stuff are still up and running. I swear my ex that lives in the city goes rock climbing there every week?

***God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses***

[nycjumper]

CP itself is still there, just the equestrian facility that went under.

[mindismom]

I live in Brooklyn, & there are 2 places around here to ride. It's much more reasonabally priced than Claremont. If anyone wants to travel a little, I can look into maKING US AN APT. it is near Prospect Park.If you are interested, pm me.I'd love to meet horsepeople in the city, as many of you have said, it's hard to find around here.

mindismom-
I am assuming you're talking about Kensington? Its not my first choice. My hesitation is that I had some less than pleasant experiences with that traffic circle http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

Its actually not too expensive for Claremont just to go out for a hack (think $45 for an hour). The plus is that they would let us go out alone.

Just let me know - I'll do whatever...

[tecumsea]

Shall we run a vote? How close to the date do we need for everyone? We will need to see the weather first! Put the ideas out. All day saturday or nite is fine http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[horsegirl33]

so it's definitley saturday...and if the weather is good...it's definitley central park....http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif right? OK...so if it's NOT good weather......then what we doin??

***God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses***

[tecumsea]

well we would need to get together for dinner and drinks or lunch and drinks or drinkd or?!!!Any ideas?

[DancingPretense]

I say we make it for Sat (not sure what Sat we are talking about, JAn?? ) Meet at the barn, and if we can't go out inthe park then head out for some lunch or something...Meet around 1ish? When the date gets closer should we call the barn and say we have a heard of horse people coming?

http://community.webshots.com/user/ridenyc

[horsegirl33]

That Sat is Jan 17th, i think....Claremont won't know what hit them!!! Just pray for decent riding weather!

***God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses***

sat jan 17 is the day. we can do the finalizing the week before.

I lost my mare 2 weeks ago and actually looked up the Claremont website wondering what the deal was for regular riding if one lived there...

I'll be in L.A. at that time but would love to be with you!

Woohoo!!! Count me in! I used to ride at Kensington Stables next to Prospect Park (man, I've got traffic circle stories http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif and it's really not bad just to trail ride from. I've also ridden at Dixie Dew Stables in Queens and thought the trails at Forest Park were really quite nice.

I lived in Queens and Brooklyn (where I still work) but it was still too "urban" for me. So I gave up and moved out to Long Island to be closer to riding in Suffolk County http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

As in 3PM? Or did you mean "there"?

Because that would be SO much better than 11AM....

[tecumsea]

I was referring to the number of drinks I would have for her, But we can move it back a little if that would help.

Yeah, it would help if I saw the post ABOVE yours, Tecumsea! http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Later is better for me too (that way I don't feel too bad having a few drinks http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif)

However, can meet whenever as I'm in the city.

[Phaxxton]

Can we maybe meet later in the afternoon and then do an early dinner?

Just a suggestion... then drinks won't make anyone feel guilty (and I can work in the AM, which I don't have to do, but it would be nice) http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

linquest - email me if you want to head out to this together on Sat (either train or driving - was thinking we could go together) http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[tecumsea]

Okay later in the day. Cooperfields and then early dinner or just a dinner. Happy hour can be useful since you are having a cold snap. Did you hit at least 10 today? I will post with a different name from my parents appartment thurs nite or friday morning. Pick a time guys.

[Phaxxton]

Okay, here is my suggestion. What if we meet at 3:30 or 4:00PM at the tack store. We'll go to dinner / happy hour from there.

Or, if anyone knows that area and can pick a restaurant, then we can also have a preset time for dinner. This way, whoever does not want to shop can just meet for dinner.

How does that sound?

Who knows a restaurant in the area? What does everyone else think of this?

[Merlin]

OK, I'm in! Later is better for me too. I know a couple of good places on the upper east side, but I don't know if you guys want to go that far. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

How will we know each other?

Thanks! I may have to work on Saturday, but if not, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

Restaurant/happy hour suggestion: Copperfields is on east 24th street, very close to the 6 train, which we could take uptown. There are countless bars/pubs/restaurants on 2nd and 3rd ave in the 70s and 80s that could work for us. They're also more reasonably priced than something in Gramercy, near Copperfields. Just a thought. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Does anyone know when Copperfields closes on Saturday? I vote we meet an hour or two before it closes there and then move on to dinner and drinks. If it closes at 5, I think meeting at 3 would be perfect.

As to how we would recognize each other...does anyone happen to have one of those infamous COTH caps? I don't, but it would be great if someone did http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Copperfields closes at 6. So let's meet at 3:00 at Copperfields & then go to a pub.

My thought is we could go to Old Town Bar (18th St & Park). It's only 6 blocks from Copperfields & is casual & inexpensive. That way we can have a few drinks and/or eat & people can leave whenever they need to....

No COTH hat here - perhaps we can all wear a nametag with our COTH id on it?! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

So, is it Copperfield's at 3 definitely?! I'm very excited... I'm trying to think of something I can wear to stand out so we can all find each other. I like the COTH id nametag idea...

And, I just got a whole bunch of new pics of the REAL Phaxxton to show everyone! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

PS - linquest - check your email!! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Mickster here (obviously)

I'm tecumsea's ever-faithful and long-suffering roomie...

She's read the forum, but is having problems posting.

Wanted me to pass on that she will be at Copperfields at 3 pm tomorrow.

Oh, and please feel free to abuse her once or twice for me.

Thanks!

[prider80]

just found out i do, in fact have to work tomorrow. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif but i hope that everyone has fun! stay warm out there! i hear it's going to make it up to a balmy 32 degrees tomorrow!

[Phaxxton]

I Just got a call from tecumsea. Tomorrow at 3 at Copperfields. She can't post right now on the forum, but she will try to get to the library to post in the meantime! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

So, yes, everyone, 3PM tomorrow at Copperfields!!!

[Phaxxton]

ALso, Tecumsea and I were talking and we are going to try to meet outside of COpperfields (I know, I know, even in the cold), but it makes more sense so we all find each other. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif So, hopefully everyone I approach and ask "are you from COTH?" will actually be from COTH... http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

If you are planning to come, post here and let us know so we know how many to wait for...

[Mickster]

Phaxxton...

You didn't happen to mention to her my comment about beinng "long suffering" and wanting everyone to abuse her, did you?

[linquest]

Mickster-

Are you suggesting that we all meet by the whips and crops, or did you have some other abuse in mind? We could always throw her in a NY taxicab....

Can't wait to meet all of you tomorrow!

[nycjumper]

I'll be there at 3. Real name is Rachel & I'm about 5'6 w/short blonde hair http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

If I don't see you outside, I'll be lurking at the front of the store eying the saddles & trying to figure out exactly how much my credit card will let me charge! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

So right now its linquest, phaxxton, tecumsea & me. Anyone else? I PT'd everyone who posted on this topic so hopefully we'll get some more people to come out!
Anyone else coming??

I think the Cab Driver would lose that fight...

[Phaxxton]

Mickster - of course not! I wouldn't tell her that!

I have far too much respect for a person who joins an internet bulletin board on a subject that doesn't interest him just to be a part of my lesbian wedding! (See, I DO remember you http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif)

We'll just abuse her, and then when she revisits this thread in a few days, she'll know it's all your fault.

And, I'm SO NOT taking on a NY City cabbie. Ladies, you are on your own with that one.

For everyone else, I'm about 5'4" with brown hair and freckles. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Thank you for meeting me guys. You all were awesome. It definitly helped with my trip to see the family. Thank you. Ky is cold!!!You are warmer than we are!!!

[Merlin]

It was great to meet all of you guys!! I had a really nice time, and would definitely love to do it again. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[nycjumper]

It was great meeting all of you! I'm heading back to Copperfields this week to see if I can pick up any more bargins http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Let's all get together this spring (or whenever it gets warm again http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif) & go for a ride in Central Park. Of course, a few cocktails afterwards will be planned as well!

[Seven]

It was a great time and those of you who live in and near NYC (and you know who you are! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif )but failed to get there this time missed out!

The best thing about COTH get-togethers is that all the BBers I've met are even MORE fun in person than on here! It's always a good time.

[goobs]

no pictures? no fun anecdotes of the get together?

[Seven]

I was up before dawn so I forgot a camera... http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

nyc_jumper got a brand new gorgeous Grand Prix hunt coat for something like $10 bucks from Copperfields http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif but other than that we just talked horses, ate, and drank. We almost ate at the "Hairy Monk" http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif but I was out voted in favor of the much safer-sounding "Fitzgeralds". It was actually a really quick meet, but I love now how I can "hear" everyone in their posts! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

10 dollars! I knew I should have gone! I was in midtown at my desk until 6:45PM. Yeck then had a 2 hour trek home.

So no pictures. Boy new yorkers are a cagey and wiley bunch!

[Seven]

goobs! I could have driven you home if you had to trek in and out by train!! I had to drive in anyway and was headed north to Poughkeepsie after the meet. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Not to say I got home any faster than two hours...

[horsegirl33]

serendipity.... you live in Poughkeepsie?! (couldn't tell by your post...lol) That's where I work full time and I live right outside nyc....wanna switch houses during the week? http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif It sucks for me b/c I have to drive! I hate it especially in the winter! there's no mass transit up there unless I want to take like 4 hours each way. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif &lt;sniff!&gt;

LOL! I used to live right outside NYC (Bronxville) but we just sold that house and now, we're, uh, staying with relatives. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/no.gif So the relatives live outside Poughkeepsie...we're hoping to live south of there, when and if we EVER close on a new property! http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

So for now, we probably pass each other on our commutes!
