There are several horse farms within a mile of my home and one that's just down the street that boards and gives riding lessons. I see young girls faithfully practicing and cleaning up after their steeds.
Même regard qu'Olivier: je trouve que la chaussette rose casse un peu le côté BCBG..:)), mais j'admire la complementarité des pièces rouges, ça, c'est la classe!:))))))
En effet, quelle belle robe, un poil dru et bien brossé :) Ce sont les petites filles (chaussettes roses) qui sont les plus nombreuses dans les clubs hippiques...
I laughed when I saw the pink sock and sneakers. My daughter rode when she was a pre-teen and they insisted on boots and riding breeches.
Thanks for your educational note about pumpkins in Europe. The best part of the tradition here is carving faces into the pumpkins. Sometime on Sunday I will hollow out a couple of large pumpkins, carve frightening faces into them, and insert candles to light them from within and scare the children who go around "trick-or-treating" (i.e., collecting candy treats).
A great photo. The shoe and lovely pink sock perfectly ages the rider. It's nice she had the opportunity to get a trial ride and then decide if she wanted to pursue the hobby.
Thank you for visiting and leaving a thought! Sorry about the moderation, a bit tired of spam at the moment!
Merci de votre visite très appréciée et de laisser une pensée ! Désolée de devoir modérer vos commentaires, VDP en a un peu marre des spammeurs en ce moment !
Riding is big in Versailles, starting at a young age!
That's good. If one is to be a horse person he/she needs to start young...
ReplyDeleteMaybe Versailles is the "horse capitol of France"? We could make Ocala and Versailles "sister" cities based on our equine interests!
I would, of course, have to visit Versailles and the Versailles horses to make sure they would up to our standards! Heh, heh!
Well, could I at least come and visit?

ReplyDeleteSneakers??!! She needs boots!
I learned some French vocabulary today. Never ran across the word hippique before. I also learned that it's okay for equestrians to wear pink socks.
ReplyDeletebelle chaussette rose, j’espère qu'elle est fluo ;o))
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like that pony likes the groceries a bit. LOL
I always say my kids rode before they were born---and it's true. MB

ReplyDeleteA lucky kid. But where are the stirrups?
ReplyDelete@ all: this was a first, a trial if you like before deciding!
ReplyDeleteI still remember the first time I mounted a horse, I was a kid, and was the last time either.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I remember is to keep your heel down ;-D

Mostly teenage girls who are active riding here in Stavanger.
ReplyDeleteA nice image!:)
Surprisingly, it is pretty big here, as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's an elegant horse, wonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteI love horses!
Léia :)

I think it is also an expensive hobby. But a very fun one too!

ReplyDeletePlenty of spaces to ride too. xxxx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty shot - I like the quilted blanket.
