What a stunning animal and the backdrop is equally as stunning!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent sight!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this competitions more than the jumping event. The settings like that background architecture so much nicer than the events I have been.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I would love to be able to watch the training as well as the show. I enjoyed the video too!
ReplyDeleteQuite a setting to be riding in. Terrific action shots!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful horse.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to have seen this but I didn't cross the street. I didn't even know I had to cross the street! But we were on a short leash time-wise, so... again, I hope there's a next time with more time.
ReplyDeleteHorses were a bit alien when I was growing up. There were a few mounted policemen but that was it. These images are beautiful but I'll never fully understand.
ReplyDeleteThis would be special to see in person.
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me how they are trained and all the things they can do. Love and affection go a long way in achieving this. With those beautiful surroundings they were the aristocrats of the horse world.
ReplyDeleteQuel cadre magnifique !
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful sight, and set against such a wonderful backdrop too... very impressive!
ReplyDeleteA very nice reportage, it is so rare to catch some horses around here...
ReplyDeleteFaszinierend !
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that would be fun to watch especially in such a beautiful setting.
ReplyDeleteSee my blog---
ReplyDeleteMaybe I could ride this horse in a circus act someday.
Horses have always intrigued the heck out of me.
