Not too many of them, compared to cars, but you would definitely occasionally see an old man driving a horse-drawn wagon down First Avenue, which at that time was still paved with cobblestones, not asphalt. Sometime when I was in kindergarten (1954-55) I had a very scary nightmare that featured a living, disembodied horse's head, with a big mouth and big teeth, in the middle of our living room. This makes me think that, at that time, I did see horses on the street sometimes, but not often enough to be very used to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
