Royal Winter Fair

[egret]

Is anyone here going?

I intend to but not sure
which day

I do not attend on week-ends


but doe enjoy it a lot!


Egret

they did change the restaurants a bit though

[egret]

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

feel free to input on this if u have knowledge

[Irene]

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?
