I went
and sat at the back at a restaurant where the ponies and horses came before going into the ring
to perform

it upset me to see this

and really i almost left
as I did not realize what they go thru
one of them was all blindfolded and upset :((

I dont know what the ponies are called
the ones who step high

oh, my goodness those poor animals

other than that, i had anice time there


Egret

usually they put blinders on the horses and ponies so that they do not get distracted or frightened
not sure what the ponies are called ..sorry can't help maybe hackney ponies?
