Last weekend we traveled to Vermont so Adam could run the Vermont 100. As did last year I blogged about the horse race run at the same time on the same course on my FillyRunner blog.
I wanted to share some of the pictures I took of these amazing animals that were more portrait like.
This fellow just came back up from a soak in the stream. He was still a very stunning dark bay.
This is my favorite picture from the day, I just love this horse’s bridle.
This was actually part of a series of three pictures I took. In all three a different horse has it’s head turned. I think they were looking for treats.
It took the rider a bit to convince her horse that it should go into the stream. But once he was in, he didn’t want to leave the stream. He actually kept pawing the water.
I loved how each horse had it’s own hair style. Some had manes cropped short. Others had braids. And others just had long flowing manes.
Arabians have such beautiful little heads, and some have such a beautiful metallic sheen.
Most of the horses were grays and bays. I did see a stunning blue roan pinto arabian on the first day, but I didn’t get a picture of it. I never saw it on the course.
Despite fewer horses, I still loved looking at each and every one. I guess there’s still a little horse obsessed girl in me. If only I had the time and money to make owning one possible.

Aren’t horses the best? We have county fair coming up in a couple of weeks and I too like looking at all the different mane styles.
Thanks for sharing your pics!

I’m still jealous of your daughter and her horse. I love watching the 4H kids at the county fairs.
