MGLI Draft Horse Show - pics and vids

[Casper]

Oh wow, I am amazed at their sizes! I have never met one in person, and I can just imagine how stunning they are in real life. The pictures alone have me in awe.

I adore Tommie, she seems like such a lovable goof! The picture of her trying to steal a drink is just too cute.

Thanks for sharing this event with us!

Gorgeous horses you have, Andrea! And don't worry about your English, I am sure you will do fine! I love your horse's spots! What breed is he/she? Will they be traveling with you to the MGLI?

[Cinder & Smoke]

Gorgeous horses you have, Andrea!

Will they be traveling with you to the MGLI?

"Traveling" might be a little difficult ...

Not sure if they'd *fit* under the airplane seat!

But then, there's always a BOAT ...

[Husky_mom]

Hey Staci ~

Tell Dad to borrow the 18-wheeler for the Trip ---
He might wanna "Buy Sumpin"!

[Drafthorse]

Hey Girls,
thanks for your welcome!
hmm, karen, i think to put Merlin & Lasso in my trolley could be a little bit difficult maybe my little pony Asterix
My black gelding called "Merlin" is a Percheron. The spotted gelding "Lasso" is a Mix from Noric & Ardenn.

This is my pony-mix (Shetland x icelandic) "Asterix"

Then i own a "Southgerman Draft" called "Flori", he is a brown gelding

this is my (now) 1jear old noric stallion "Rambo"


my friend love the colour from his horses - we say "fox" (like the chicken eating woodanimal - i like more darker and spotted horses!
Pictures from my friends horses in the next posting (there are only 10 pics allowed!)

Next month i will book our flight (for me and my honey Michael )!

Its very hard for me to write english (thinking, translation and writing together) - because my scool english is nearly 15 Years ago ... but its a good practise for me to speeking than again in the USA. Here in Germany i have no or less contact to english speaking peoples ...

So, i have to work now again ... the horsefood is expensive ;-)

Greetings to USA

ANDREA from Bavarian - Oktoberfest

[Drafthorse]

and this are the horses from my friend Michael:
tree stallions (same breed like Flori - "Southgerman Draft")
"Bubi"

"Georgie" (the son from Bubi)

and "Vaco" - a now 1year old stallion

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

WOW!! Amazing and gorgeous pics!! I don't have horses, but my sis does.

Hehe Ramanth, I bursted out laughing when I saw these Belgian butts, haha. I am a Belgian too, but not with that kind of butt, lol!!


Hey Andrea, I am happy to welcome another "neighbour" on PT!! I live in Belgium, near Gent
