Leo and I drove down Old Frankfort Pike this afternoon, flanked by some of the most historical, impressive, and ostentatious horse farms in Fayette County.
Our destination: a farm where my friend works in Midway – more stunning scenery and jaw-dropping farms, and although it was a dull, blustery and downright chilly day, who cares?!
We saw lots of inquisitive, hairy yearlings:-
There are people who can look at a bunch of horses like this, and immediately pick out which ones will be fast, which ones won’t, which ones might have problems, which ones will go long or short etc. It’s about angles, confirmation, experience, and a certain kind of horsemanship. I just see sweet faces, furry bodies, gangly legs, something redeemable in all of them, I’d be a terrible pinhooker or bloodstock agent!
We also some very pregnant mares,
and of course a couple of adorable foals.
Thanks again for stopping by. Tomorrow, forecast thunderstorms permitting, we hope to go to the Horse Park and see what’s happening there.
