Wright Park is a wooded area in Baguio which became known for its horseback riding services for tourists.[1] It was named after American Governor Luke E. Wright and was established as a recreational area.[2] It is situated near The Mansion.[3] The horses are owned and handled by "pony boys", who are often a member of the Ibaloi community.[4][5]
The park was closed down in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but has since reopened to local tourists in July 2020.[6] In the same year, an outbreak of equine infectious anemia broke out affecting the health of horses in Wright Park.[4][5]
In September 2020, the Baguio city government unveiled a ₱717 million development plan which it conceived prior to the pandemic.[7]
