Metcalfe Fair Horses!

Metcalfe fair
Hubby loves his heavy horses! We went to Metcalfe to see them. They were showing the large geldings, taking them through their paces as they were being judged. Apparently, there would have been more, but there is a big heavy horse competition in Boston next weekend, and many were resting their horses for that one.



We didn't wait around, but the wagons were running in the afternoon.


He was tying up the horse's tail.


The one on the right wanted the hay the one on the left had in his stall. There was some scolding involved. "My hay!"

Horses are such noble-looking animals and good runners! No wonder , many people are addicted to horse competitions and gambling.

What a wondrous display.Tails plaited and brushed, eyes shining, coats glossy, and hooves polished, manes fancied up so nicely, no wonder Mr J enjoyed it so much. Great photos Jenn, and even in the stalls, I am amazed they let you in there.

Those are some big horses. Never heard of heavy horses before but they sure look like they fit the category.
