Carriage Ride
I’ve been doing a bit of organizing of my digital photos today. Not exactly the cleaning of my office I was going to do this weekend, but maybe kind of, in a virtual sort of way. I came across these images I had intended to post someday.
While at the Western Pleasure Guest Ranch for the Nancy Crow workshop in October, several of us went on a carriage ride around the ranch.
It was a beautiful fall day and the horses were magnificently huge animals.
They have huge feet.
Do they look happy? This is a brother and sister team - I can’t recall their names, but they were very horse sounding names.
Love the colors - lots of browns to set off the bright blue and red.
Great lines!
They also have really really big back sides.
I’ll post some pictures I took on the ride later.

LOL! Is that some type of alien horse?

Those look like the Clydesdales that used to be in the Budweiser commercials.

They are big draft horses - you can read a quick definition on the wikipedia here. Clydesdales are one type of draft horse - these were something different - solid dark brown. They told us what type they were (Belgian maybe) but I can’t remember.
Whatever they are they are monstrous - and very beautiful.
Rayna - when I lived in Williamsburg I would go look at the Budweiser Clydesdales at Busch Gardens most every time we went. Okay - so they were on the way to where we were going - it was hard to miss them. Not like the kid was going to want to see a horse instead of riding the rides.
