The Big Horses

The Big Horses

Some of the big horses are old and retired, some are young and learning how to work. Many have been rescued from awful and frightening places. Some are retired New York Carriage Horses, they still have lives of purpose and connection. They are curious, they stare at me, call me over, sniff me and check out my pockets. Some stay with me, say hello to me, others walk on by. i am somewhat awed by them, they are big and beautiful and powerful. I came to Blue-Star for a visit Sunday and announced to everyone that I was not riding on a horse or in a cart, I just wanted to take some photos.

I left knowing that I need to take a ride on a horse and understand more about them.
