When Manhattan’s last and oldest boarding facility closed last year, New Yorkers lamented the loss of horses in the Big Apple. But now horses are back, only behind the walls of The American Museum of Natural History. The Museum will hold a major exhibition exploring the history of the horse staring May 17 and running until January 4 next year.

The exhibit will look at the horse through history from its early development to its domestication. The exhibition will include fossils and cultural objects, ranging from a 19th-century fire engine to paleolithic art.
