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

Like with certain big breeds of dogs - the giants tend to be the sweetest ones!

Please, don't be jealous!

The first time I was so scared - they pranced by about 20 feet away - It was way too cool! They made the earth move!

The second time, by providence, I had a camera and was prepared.

In the lead pair, the horse on the left was was being a brat.

The horse on the right, the closer one to me, walked straight ahead, all the while "Lefty" was swinging his head to the left and bumping his pal!

I had forgot this until I looked at the pics! I remember thinking that IF the horse did come my way, I'd die with a camera lodged in my head!

We have a BUD brewery about 6 miles away and they show up a few times a year!

I love the big horses!! I see them every year at the State Fair of Texas, and my husband just saw them at the NC bowl game in Miami....he also got to play with their 10 month old baby Dalmatian....or Dogmation, as we call them!!

I also used to see them every year at the Grape Festival in Lodi. Beautiful animals, for sure!!
