They park them perpendicular to the road. Once a motorist said to me "don't you know you have to follow the same rules I do?" I said "yes, but that doesn't mean you don't have to share."

The handful of equestrians in NYC would be mad not to use the bike lane. The typical brush-back or plain ole clueless driver who drive too close for comfort for cyclists, might spook the hell out of even an old nag. Generally, cyclists are much nicer about sharing their roadspace than motorists, who sometimes even honk when they are stuck behind a horse, as if were supposed to curb our mounts like a dog.
