Fair 2015 - Visit #1: Horse Barn

Saturday, August 29, 2015

Shay never got her cheese curds and was starting to get hungry. Mike and Ashanka took her off to forage for food. I stayed with Charisse and the gals and we decided to all meet up in about 45 minutes. We peeked in the horse barn building and saw some pretty amazing animals.  I’m not sure what kind of horses the ones pictured here were, but we determined they weren’t Clydesdale’s since they didn’t have hair hanging over their hooves. They were quite awesome to behold. It’s hard to tell their massive size from the photos. We also saw some black horses that Charisse identified as Percherons. Majestic.

Fair 2015 - Visit #1: Clydesdales?

We weren't sure what kind of horses these were and there was no one around to ask. They look exactly like Clydesdales except for the lack of hair covering their hooves. Maybe these are Clydesdales who've had leg hair trims.

Fair 2015 - Visit #1: Hazy Day

After the horses, the gals and I crossed the street to look at cowboy hats. Cathy actually purchased one. I got a Diet Coke Charisse then texted Mike with our location. As we waited we saw the sun through the hazy sky, eerily beautiful due to all the wildfires out west. Also, we saw a number of horse teams ride by as we waited here.
