Lipizzaner Stallions arrive

[moosmom]

They are such beautiful animals!!! I grew up with horses, as my Dad was in the Governor's Horse Guard. Every summer I spend a weekend with my best friend at her beach house in Niantic. It's right down the street from Camp Rell and it's always the weekend that the Horse Guard is there. They actually block off a portion of the land so the horses can graze. I am in awe of them.

Too bad I can't join the Horse Guard and carry on my Dad's legacy. I love horses but can't ride for $hit.

Vela had taken more pictures but has had such a tremendous amount of things she is dealing with she just hasn't been able to post them, so I offered to post them for her as I know she wanted to share them. So here are more pictures of the horses. I believe she also went to the show last night and was going to try and get some pics/videos.


Sleepy boy









The mark on his hip is a special brand. Umm.. I can't remember exactly what she told me it meant, I think that he is from the original lines in Europe, but she will probably need to refresh my memory.












She said this guy kept wanting attention.

Just a few more.

"Who did this??"



And one of her boy, Gent, just cause he's so adorable



And Diva too!

Thanks for posting those Jess, I have been running ragged. I do have pics and video of the show, sometimes they didn't come out so great because of the spotlights, but I got some good ones as well. Have not had time to upload them, etc, but I will get to it soon and post it. Was very neat.
