This Weekend at Cylburn: Part Two — Another Shor This Weekend at Cylburn: Part Two — Another Short Story in “Wait, You Did What?”

You were all amazed by the massage tent, so we thought we’d share another oversized surprise that arrived at the Arboretum this past weekend. A photographer showed up (without a photo permit, of course) and… brought a horse trailer onto the property. Yes—complete with a real, live horse. 🐴

When our staff gently explained, “Hey, horses aren’t allowed in city parks,” they decided the best course of action was to… unload the horse anyway. The horse promptly made itself at home (use your imagination 💩) before they agreed to leave.

Just a friendly reminder:
📸 Photo shoots require permits
🐎 Horses are not allowed in city parks

And that’s not just us being picky—it's Rule #33 in the official Baltimore City Recreation and Parks rule book: “No person shall ride or lead a horse into or upon lawns or other areas of any park, unless permitted by the Director.”

We love nature. We love animals. But we also love keeping the gardens safe, beautiful, and—let’s be honest—clean. Thank you for all of your support!
