Jule Spohn:
Does anyone remember going horseback? I went a few times but can't
remember the names of the places. One name that comes to mind is
Max's Little Corale which was, I think, in Maplewood.
Nicky G:
Hi Jules, remember going horse back riding off Old Mill RD in Union.
Remember something about horse in Weequahic but wouldn't bet on
that.
Quint:
Max's corral was in Vaux Hall, behind the bus turn around. I used
to be a guide for Max on weekends and on days I played hookey. I
would take riding parties up through Milburn road to So Orange reservation.
I had great fun!

Believe it or not, we used to go "horseback riding" in
the meadows off Wilson Ave. DownNeck. There were several wild horses
there (mid to late 1960s this was) and we would rope and ride them
(bareback) whenever we could! The wild, wild, Newark!
Martha Imperiale:
Rich,
I just read your comment to Jule about riding the horses. That also
sounds like Wild Wild Wild Texas to me...
TONY DIGIESI:
HELLO ALL:
The gang I hung with at Crystals all would take the 31 So. Orange
up town to the bus turn around you described. Didn't remember the
name, was Max's little coral. I usually got "Gypsy". She
was slow and not frisky except when the pack started to run on the
trail. I bounced like a ball and certain parts hurt a bit. I remember
crossing a street and my brother Joe's horse almost climbed up on
a car hood. Also the back shoes of his horse slipped out together
and the horse did a back split and almost went down on the street.
It was a blast. Valley from the Romans down at Luigies on South
Orange Ave., owned his own black horse he kept there. He could rear
it up and put its front feet on top of doghouse that was there by
the barn, real impressive. That horse was beautiful...It didn't
smell all that good as I recall there by the barn. Phew Yu. Thanks
for the memories of those days. Hardly talk about it ever.
Regards
Tony D.

guild at Max's little Coral in the early 50s. Along withVali, Soupie
(vinnie) Palumbo, Babe Peretti, Little Ceasar, Big Nick, Feets &
Smil'n Jack, who used to work for Max. Don't forget the black crew

the German shepherd dog Max used to lock-up at night in the tackroom?
What about Abe, & his little ponys. If anyone is interested
I have pictures. Darn, that makes them 50 years old. I didn't think
I'd live that long. JULE; thanks for this invite. interested---dallas252@yahoo.com

Frankie
I used to guide in '49 and first part of the 50s. I rode with the
black guys, one was named Speedy, remember him and his sidekicks.
My buddies were Gary Garret, Eddie Naspinsky and Louis Weissberg,
who was a mounted cop in Newark. Remember how Max used to pop that
bull whip? I enlisted in the Corps in July of 1950 and that was
the end of my riding at Max's. I had some great times riding the
bridle trail through the South Orange mountains. I don't remember
the name of Max's dog but I do remember the dog being locked up
in the tack room. It's nice to share these remembrances with you.
Jule Spohn:
Hello Frankie (Mr. Nice Guy). I'm glad you showed your face here.
How about that - Quint and you worked at the same place. How many
others remember going there and riding the horses. I went a few
times but had forgotten about it till Frankie reminded me of it.
Hey Quint - spoke with John Manghisi today. He says hello. Says
he sent you a brochure about the museum.
Looks like the Marines have landed - all is well.
Tony DiGiesi:
Hello all:
Boy that was fun! A good RIDE BACK IN TIME SO TO SPEAK, ANOTHER
BAD PUN. Max's Coral. Anyone remember how much it cost back then
to ride? Man we sure have some LONG memories. I can't remember where
the Car keys are, but I can remember the good old NEWARK DAYS.
Ha Ha.
Hey Frankie_Nice Guy, welcome to the site and thanks for the Post
who was that "MASKED MAN" Kemo Sabe? Another Newark Alumni,
they keep coming back like me, to remember the "GOOD OLD DAYS".
When the "50's were great and Tony Bennett was on the Radio
or Eddie Fisher, CONNIE FRANCIS Frankie Laine and, Oh My God, all
the great Do-Wop groups. Turn up the Radio and hear the Four Aces,
Jo Stafford, McGuire Sisters, Nat King Cole and the others. The
Dances at St. Ant's Church. And a late night Jimmy Buff's (Make
it a DOUBLE PLEASE) or a Pizza from the Reservoir. Always liked
to watch by the Kitchen Door at the Cooking and Pizza making.
Well bye for now Its "KARAOKE" tonight at "Puzzo's"
and I need to Sing the Oldies once in a while. "My FANS ARE
WAITING".
Tony D.
