… and horses, horses, horses …
Today’s classes at the Carriage Festival featured a glorious array of single ponies, pony pairs, single horses, pairs of horses, and VSEs (very small equines).
Here, shown in the order of today’s classes, are some of the beautiful turnouts on display:

As you can see, the pair-horse classes feature quite a lot of Friesians …

Eleven-year-old Avery Wilson was competing today in just his second pleasure-driving show, and he won the junior reinsmanship class. Congratulations, Avery!

The evening session ended just a little while ago, and I’m downloading all those photos now. But as it’s already quite late, I think I’ll wait to sort, edit, and post them. So stay tuned for scenes from Friday evening.
And then, of course, we have another full day at the Festival tomorrow!

I don’t believe they’re available online, but I’ll post them here as soon as I have all of them (probably on Sunday).
