Weekend Stuff Part 2: Saturday

Saturday was Horsefest.
It wasn't as great as I expected. That or we missed some things I wanted to see, not sure.

The first thing I saw was the budweiser clydesdales' semi trucks.

So we ate lunch and went to see the Clydesdales first. They were in these weird cage things...
One lady beside us was talking to a horse and he was scratching the shavings with his (HUGE) hoof and she was baby talking him, asking him if he was counting. And she went on for about 5 minutes. I wanted to say "No, he's about to charge, you might want to move" :P


After that we went to see the "fox hunting"




Next was the Tommie Turvey thing. He's an equine extremist and does tricks with his horses. It was too dark inside to get good pictures but it was pretty cool. And he has very awesome horses...
He was doing things like having his horse bow or sit and rear and throw him, it was cool...

In the same room they were raffling off a gypsy vanner.......
Why do they have to do that to me?
Anyways...

I believe after that we went to wait for the Clydesdales and took a break, going to see the other animals.



They had saddles strapped to barrels and Joshua was thrilled when he finally got his turn.
Of course there were a lot of pushy little annoying kids and Joshy didn't get as much time up on the saddles as he would've liked.

The Clydesdales took FOREVER.
Which is why I missed the show jumping I wanted to see.
I dont know which part was so time consuming, they were just standing there for like 15 minutes...
then When they finally came, annoying people kept trying to push in front of my and i didnt get any good pictures the first time around.





So I tried to follow where they were oging and get ahead of them so I could get some more shots.
They had to stop every couple minutes because of the "several thousand dollar equipment" it was drizzling and the horses were slobbering so they had to stop and clean everything off.

But I FINALLY got at least one good picture.




and that was about it....
