You never know what you will see in NYC
Walking around NYC, one never knows what you will see, case in point is as I was heading out for lunch the other day and was about to walk up the stairs to Tudor City and looked up and this is what I saw

At first, I had to look again I wasn't sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me, Sure I have seen the Mounted Police riding their horses around the city at times, but seeing a White horse at the end of 41 St Street is something I had not seen before. so I continued up the stairs, and sure enough, it was a real horse, so I took a few shots of it, Starting with this shot of the full horse

When I got closer I zoomed in a for this close in shot, I am not really a horse person, but this looked like a beautiful one to me.

And then he turned and looked at me almost posing for this shot

NOw Like me you may be wondering what was this horse doing there in Tudor City, well the lady holding the reigns of the horse was explaining to the onlookers, that it was there for a photo shoot for some fashion company that was taking place around the corner on the road over 42nd Street, and betwene shoots she was walking it around the block for a break, kind of funny I thought that after hearing that the people still asked if they could get some selfies taken with the horse.
I decided not to get a selfie with he horse, mainly because it is so beautiful, would be a shame for me to be in a photo with is and spoil the beauty of the scene :)

Hahaha, that is crazy that it was just there in the city. It does look really pretty though. I can't imagine you would have ruined the picture that much...
Trust me I would have, I hate my photo taken so I happily hide behind the scammer ;)
Thanks so much appreciate the resteem
This animal is beautiful.
The shot of him posing for the picture probably comes natural as he is just warming up for the photo shoot.
Yes I think your right, he was clearly not camera shy and also not phased by people getting close
Amazing! But how lucky you are to be there at that time. 😀
Yes Indeed I was just there at the right time, they moved on a minute after i took those shots

Want to have your post on the map too?
One of my favourite things when I am in London is being at the London Library on the third floor where I hide away and it looks down on St. James Square and the mounted bobbies clip clop by. That sound of the hooves on the old brick pavers is instantly 19h century to me.
I never visited the London Library in all of my times there but your description of it sounds like I was I had :)
Beautiful white horse indeed. We have Mounted Police over here nearby my neighborhood as well. But just like what you said, seeing a white horse is rare.

Actually dong thispost made me realize its been a while since i saw a mounted policeman, I wonder if they are still around here
What a cool and funny fimding ☺The horse is beautiful indeed! I start to think you could meet a unicorn another day )
Posted using Partiko Android
LOL If I ever see a Unicorn I will be sure to get shots of it to share, with it being nYC nothing is impossible LOL
And don't forget about selfie!
Posted using Partiko Android
LOL I can promise there will be no Selfie :)
Ok, but you still can catch some lady on a break and ask for photo shoot )) There will be no your fault... if any ))
LOL very creative thinking on your part
One - that horse is awesome.
Two - the first picture looks like it is some mythical beast that has appeared out of the forest to guide you on a spirit quest. (Except of course that this is in the middle of the city).
What a fun thing to see!
I must admit when I first saw it I had to blink to make sure i wasn’t seeing things, re the mystical beast its funny another comment just said they would not be surprised if the next thing I see in the city is a Unicorn 🦄 which although unlikely in NYC you just never know
Great shots as always Jay. Upvoted.
Somewhere, (if I haven't deleted it) I have a photo of a
Horse on the sidewalk in a neighborhood in Atl., a place
You would certainly not expect to find one.
I think it was there for a party, or perhaps some movie
Shooting.
Thanks Jerry, when I first saw it I had to block to make sure I wasn’t seeing things that weren’t there lOL
MOst likely those are good guesses as to why the one you saw was there
Now that is something you don't see every day! lol. I wonder what company was doing the photo shoot. It sounds like an odd "prop" for a city fashion company, but who knows?
It reminds me of the time I was in a small town and there was a random guy with a hawk on his arm.
For sure I had to blink whenI first saw it I thought i was seeing things that weren’t there, I think they said it was aa brand Eros or something like that but I am not 100% sure, it did seem a strange prop to me as well, but maybe they have a country style of clothes who knows
That would be a sight to see the hawk on a guys shoulder
That's pretty cool! You made me laugh about the selfie :-D
LOL I seldom ever do selfies, I cant say never since I did take part in a selfie contest a while back but now I don’t do them I am scared I will break my camera taking one
LOL. Mine did break. My phone camera that is. It won’t turn around anymore.
LOL see thats what would happen to mine
Woah what a pretty, I love horses and this is just so so pretty.
Thanks It was coo to see certainly not something one see’s often in the city
It is a gorgeous horse and so calm. You get to see all sorts of interesting things living in a city. I think you should have taken that selfie:)
LOL I didn’t want to get to close to the horse I ugh scare it and I never take selfies any more I might break my camera :)
I highly doubt that would happen:)
Lol it’s just a joke I say I generally hate having my photo taken
Haha ... the truth comes out:)
Its a truth I have never denied :)
I do love a horse, this one is a beauty :)
IT truly was such a beauty and well cared for
Oh this is a very beautiful horse such gorgeous
photos of the wonderful spring steed indeed! :-)
Thanks kindly it was cool to see
🤣🤣🤣 you never know!!!

Sure is a beautiful horse but not something I would expect to see in NYC. I thought the 1st photo was a statue. 😊
When I first saw it I thought it must be a statue then as I walked closer I saw it moving, was something cool to come across
Beautiful creature. Thanks for sharing my man :)
Thanks it was a pleasure to come across it something different for sure :)
Ok i need to ask where was the prince ? Tell me he didnt leave his white horse behind ......
I asked around apparently he got upset with all the attention his horse was getting so he had gone to the pub for a couple of beers 🍻 😎
I will go there than .... waiting for route intructions, not a NY GIRL😉
LOL I wasn’t so keen on seeing the prince and do not drink anymore so I did not enquirer which pub he had gone to LOL 😂
Beautiful white horse sir. he gives you nice pose.
Awesome photographs. thanks for share with us..Hello @tattoodjay
Thanks Kindly have a great weekend
Wow that is so unexpected! It does look like he was posing for you lol! It’s such a beautiful horse...you should have got a selfie ;D
It sure was at first I thought it must have been a statue and then it moved, the horse is so beautiful why spoil it with a selfie with me :)
Haaa!! You wouldn’t of spoiled it! 😉
LOl its just something I say, its simpler actually I just hate my photo taken
What a lovely surprise JJ.
Did you know that horses can smell people that's never been near horses and sometimes they bite the person's ear off? Lol
Yet another lovely post here!
Lol I have seen aggressive horses on farms back in NZ but glad to say I still have both of my ears 😎👍👍
Indeed, it is a rarity to just so easily meet such a beautiful horse in a big city :). She could not help but attract the attention of any passer-by :)
Exactly I did see it on my walk back to the office as well in another spot ad again with a good crowd of people around, I thnk many were like me and quite fascinated at seeing a horse there
Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:Congratulations @tattoodjay!

Thanks it was cool to see this ;)
I agree, you never know what you might come across in NYC. You are very energetic my friend, walking a lot around the city and taking a lot of pictures. You always find interesting murals... now a horse... what’s next? You gotta tell us the secret. 😉
Ohh yes thats one cool thing about the city, always something new to see,
and as for my secret, no secret at all I just walk a lot lOL
Ok, I will start walking a lot after May 15th, graduation day for my students, when my tutoring will be over. Will bumb heads in Manhattan 😀
