Evolution of the Horse

[Peanuts]

Everyone deserves a little bit of humor, and I couldn't help but chuckle when I came across this photo taken today as a panning experiment at Spruce Meadows' National Competition.
Far from a good shot, I must say, I do believe this horse and rider have a slight advantage over the other competitors.

Aww, that brings me back. I used to ride jumpers. Seeing how hard the horses hooves hit the ground always make me wince.

very nice shot... I like the feeling of movement created by the blurred background.

Just to put my nostagia bit in... I dated a girl who raised five gated walking horses.... I stopped dating here because i got tired of spending saturdays mucking out stalls/

Horses are cool.

I once rode a horse. I want to do it again one day!
