Meet the Clydesdales

October 28, 2009

Three new faces have galloped into the spotlight. Clydesdale horses Ranger, Jesse, and Monty are turning the heads of zoo visitors and sea lions alike as they clop by on Astor Court.

The Bronx Zoo’s beloved Clydesdale horses Ranger, Jesse, and Monty have once again trotted into the spotlight to take guests on festive wagon rides, weekends beginning November 7. The Clydesdale—a high-stepping draft horse—is in its element when at work, whether in the field or at the head of a cart. At the zoo, they enjoy long walks with their keepers, being brushed, and the occasional sweet treat.

Clydesdale carriage rides operate from 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. Tickets cost $5 per person for ages 3 and over, and can be purchased at the Children’s Zoo ticket window. Rides pick up on Astor Court.
