    Parade

    We do parades a couple times a year with my dad's Clydesadales and the gentleman that he shares the stables with has some also. These are a couple pictures of the parade we did last weekend


    This is the Rocky and Legend


    This is Rigger and Logon and me running beside them to keep kids out of the road (It was really hot)

    *whimper* I love draft horses... Clydesdales and Percherons are my favorites.

    Those are lovely horses, and nice rigs to boot.

    Thanks everybody they are great horses, my four year old daughter helps me feed them and they are so gentle.

    Argentra we have a four year old Percheron in the stable with them named Spider, I will get some pictures for you next time we go over. He is not as gentle as the Clydes but he is still young.

    Beautiful horses!

    For a short time, my grandmother had a neighbor who had an old clydesdale, and he would allow the grandkids to come over and ride him as long as we promised to only walk, because he thought the horse was too old for anything else. He was a gentle sweet horse, but boy it sure seemed like I was up on a mountain when I sat on his back!

    You are really lucky to be able to work with them on a regular basis!

    Gorgeous horses! That looks like so much fun! We've been invited to be in several parades but our horses are a bit spookey. That would be a blast! I'm jealous!
