Oreo the Runaway Carriage Horse Retired from his New York Job

The New York Daily News has reported that Oreo, the black-and-white carriage horse who went on a sprint through midtown after being spooked by construction noise earlier this month, will only have a brief retirement.

On Wednesday Oreo was shipped to a 120-acre horse sanctuary in Massachusetts, where he’ll remain for a few weeks until someone adopts him.

And that new owner will likely work the 4 year old, said Pamela Rickenbach, who runs Blue Star Equiculture, the official retirement sanctuary for Central Park carriage horses.

“For him to stay healthy his whole life, he needs a job,” said Rickenbach.
