Yesterday, it was Dressage Clinic Day at the Equestrian Center. Even though it was a hot day, I grabbed my camera and was soon sitting in the sun clicking as many photos as possible.
These horses were special ... they belong to my friends. I was really proud of them. In spite of the heat, they gave their best.

With the sound of Tango's thundering hoofs,
we ended a wonderful day.
The only thing I know about horses is to know one when I see one. But, that "Tango" is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDetroit Dog,
ReplyDeleteMy sister says the same thing ... all horses look alike to her, except for color.
Tango is one very big boy!
Even though it was hot, it seems like a wonderful way to spend the day. It's hard to pick a favorite,I love all those horses, they are absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteFrieisans are just amazing! Tango is a beauty! What makes a Friesian Dutch?

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm Dutch and love to see your Friesian Horses! They have so much power, and are at the same time gracious.
These horses are very beautiful. Why don't their owner train them themselves ? Haven't they time to do it ?
ReplyDeleteHi Portraits de Chevaux,
ReplyDeleteThe owners of the horses lack the ability and the time to train their horses.
The owners are also learning along with their horses.
The horses are worked separately every day, and are also worked in a clinic every few months.
The owners take lessons on their horse several times a week.
The goal is to get both the horses and their owners expert enough to ride in shows ... without the trainer.
HI DO YOU KNOW WERE TANGOS HOME IS. I USE TO OWN HIM AND WONDER WERE HE WENT. I MISS HIM . THANK YOU, NITA
