Whom You Know: NIGHTLIGHT: Clip Clop NYC: Weekend with the Carriages at Rosie O'Grady's in Manhattan June 7, 2014 In Honor of Blue Star Equiculture A Superb Success Says Whom You Know!

Conor McHugh and Paul McDaid

It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know the horses. So far, they have not spoken back but their people do. We love the horses in Central Park, emphasis on the geographic location. We've written about the horses since we started, and other horses as well. Check out Bay the horse out east with her bunny ears.

Meet Max the Horse.

Check out Tyson the Horse and Christina Hansen.

Check out Betty the Horse and Robert Boyle, and Rudy the Horse and Karl Bruen (thank you Karl for telling us about this event.)

Meet Mac the Horse who seems to uphold the police and the law.

Meet Dennis the Horse and Dimitri.

Check out our lift (we learned when we were in Cork NOT to say ride) from Tickles here.

And, the fantastic Barbara Tober said in her Mover and Shaker interview that her best New York athletic experience was "Horse riding in Central Park many years ago with Michael Korda, who wrote – among other books – Horse People. Otherwise, walking everywhere is a kick!"

In Winter's Tale, Colin Farrell rides a horse through Central Park. And, Mover and Shaker Michael Gross says he wants a Carriage Horse named after him. When Peachy clip-clopped over to the event in her AgilisBarcelonas, she knew she was in good company knowing how many people love the horses and carriages.

The event was held at Rosie O'Grady's, which we featured three years ago, and we were delighted to meet Conor McHugh, Paul McDaid, Pamela Rickenbach and Stephen Malone among many others as well, pictured below. Clip Clop's main objective is to open up their doors and show the public who they are and what they do and honor a charity, and in this case it was Blue Star Equiculture. This was the third Clip Clop event. We could go on and on, but it is better for you to listen to Liam Neeson in this documentary (and after you watch that, check out Non-Stop which we highly recommended. It comes out on Blu-Ray/DVD today.)

Another reason to watch the video is because you want to learn what makes Christina BATTY.

We were delighted to meet Pamela Rickenbach, Director of Blue Star Equiculture and we look forward to telling you more about this fantastic 501c3.

Finally, it's great to see an organization with their heart in the right place in hockey terms (they even showed the game at the Gala-clearly our kind of Gala!)...though the series is quite the uphill battle now!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
