A horse is a horse. Of course, of course?

I first met the Cyldesdale horses back in 2001.

It was early on September 7, 2001 in the morning.

I was at the L.A. County Fair when I hear this rumbling noise. I was standing with a 7 year old-in between two long buildings that formed a long walkway.

The noise of a team of 1 ton horses, pulling a beer wagon makes you think about mortality!.

I grabbed the kid by the shoulders and stood as still as possible as the rumbled by. The brewery has a 'guide' that walks ahead of the team when they go into a crowd, I don't think I even moved an inch when he motioned me aside and the crew walked by.

I am scared of horses and really any animal that is taller and fatter than I am.

I got a chance to see the CDHs once again at an airshow.....they weren't walking amongst the crowd this time! But, I was standing by the taped off area and was still scared s-less.

These animals are magnificent and when you look into their eyes you can see the intelligence and the understanding that they are WAY bigger than YOU are and they are there to have a good time...
