An Evening with Heavy Horses

[Snowrider1]

I went down to the Borders last Friday night to see the gorgeous Clydesdales belonging to Tom Tennant. He was hosting his yearly Evening With Heavy Horses as part of the Borders Festival of the Horse.

Lots of pics. Enjoy!

An old friend, Sunrise, a 3yo chestnut mare who tried to eat me the first time we met!

[Spockky boy]

I do like my heavy horses! Great pictures!

[Snowrider1]

Lovely photographs!

Heavies are so unappreciated these days!

Ta!

The ridden demonstration was very much appreciated - practically everyone who'd been watching the horses in the yard came out to the field to watch the black gelding in the photos being put through his paces - walk, trot, canter and gallop!

[fell lover]

Is that the guy at Ettrick?

[Snowrider1]

Yeah, that's him.

[Loosey]

Ooooooh they're lush! I'm not sure I've ever seen a chestnut looking clydey before! I love them!

[BEX101]

Beutifull animals

[daytona]

Swoon now thay are all my type of horses.
Gotta love the heavy gang.
Sunrise is gorgeous.

[Squid]

I love Clydies. I'd have one in a minute! Might actually be looking for one as a companion for Chubbles!

[fell lover]

My mate's dad used to breed and show them and we have toyed with the idea of doing it together but we don't have the land at present.

[Cobby Keri]

i love them all

[My Crazy Clan]

fab photos, they all looks so chilled!

[Snowrider1]

Ooooooh they're lush! I'm not sure I've ever seen a chestnut looking clydey before! I love them!

Gorgeous, isn't she? I wonder if she remembered me from the last time I saw her, as she was very cuddly and wouldn't leave me alone!

[Puss in boots]
