A few more Friesian Pictures

Here are a few more Friesian pictures from Rolex! Maybe this weekend I can work on the cross country pictures, my summer class is taking up most of my evenings!

 The above is one of my favorites for whatever reason!

Hand gallop!

Friesians at Rolex!!!

So this past weekend was Rolex. For those of you who don't know this it the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event. North America's only 4 star event, it's not your Grandfather's watch. ;-) But anyway, FHANA had a booth in the trade fair and we brought some great horses to Lexington to do demos on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I've got a TON of pictures but just wanted to post a few teaser ones here. I have a lot of cross country pictures too to go through but that will be later this weekend I feel. Enjoy!

Mean People Stink....

This is really just bothering me so I thought I'd write it down. It's a bit morbid but just bare with me. Today I saw where two ducks, ducks that live at the Horse Park, were hit and killed on the main road infront of the park. Now really, they aren't like squirels that dart in front of you in your car and you accidentally hit them. These are ducks, they waddle along. Ironworks isn't a MAJOR thoroughfare that if there were ducks in the road, you couldn't stop or slow down and change lanes and let them cross. Both were killed...that means someone aimed and hit them. I really struggle that there are people out there that can take the life of a helpless animal just for kicks. I understand hunting, people going out and are controlling the population of deer or going and hunting and fishing for food. But to just plow an animal down because you can is heart breaking. Maybe I'm extra emotional because of a long weekend at work but this just really got me today. You always saw them together....just walking around the park. I can't put much more into this otherwise I'll be in tears. But mean people do stink and God is always watching. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you people!

Oh, and it's raining...it's been raining for DAYS! That also does not help my emotional state. I need sunshine people!
