horse pictures from a agricultureal parade

[jUmPingIsLifE]

We have this huge agricultural fair a couple towns over from me and every year they hold one of the largest livestock parades in the US and there are always a lot of awsome horses pulling carts and such. Unfortunatly a man who always brings the best passed away last year in years past he had 8 horse hitches two rows of 4 percherons. along with a 'pyrimid' type hitch with 4 horses in back, then three then two leading the way (or something like that). anyway, this is what we had this year.

4 horse hitch

6 horse

2 horse fjords!

spotted drafts

some more comming, I may try to find the fair photographer page to see if he has any of the percherons from last year, it really was amazing!

4 horse hitch i ment to post before the NR wouldn't give you it because it was named '4acros****ch' and i guess it found a bad word in there, starts with an s

Some really cute halflingers and single hitches

and just because cows are cute too

we have llamas, pigs, goats, sheep, lambs ect... Its really quite cool
its not the 8 horse i was thinking of, but this is one of his old hitches.

My goodness aren't Haflingers popular over there? Only one tandem of Fjords I thought if Haffs were that popular there'd be more Fjords too.

And my goodness arn't those poles on the pairs vehicles LOW, I'd want them a lot higher.

I love looking at the multiple horse hitches, are shining and jingling with the bells on their harnesses...

Haflingers are very popular over here. We have a local exhibition that has a whole slate of Haflinger-only classes because there's so many of them, and I live in the middle of nowhere. They also seem to be a different type of Haflinger then in Europe. Ours seem to be much stockier.

And cows. Where there are horses in North America, there are cows. Go to a 4-H show. You'll see the cleanest cows in the world.

You seem to have the ones I had back in the 70's, big, strong Haflingers, leg at each corner chaps, in the UK they have turned into a long legged riding horse, with no real substance......and I feel the temperament has been scarificed too.
