Diving horses in Atlantic City

A horse is seen in this file photograph, as it makes a plunge into a pool of water on the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, N.J., Friday night, June 25, 1993. Over the objections of animal-rights activists, the diving horses returned to the boardwalk after a 15-year hiatus. The distinctive pier opened in 1898 and juts 1,000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean, but it closed in mid-October 2006 to make way for new development, most likely a mixture of high-end condominiums, restaurants and shops.
