Royal Stables


So I've been going through major horse withdrawal since we left Seattle. Today was awesome!! We got to go to the Royal Stables. Being the Royal Stables, you can imagine how amazing the grounds them self are. The horses are beyond beautiful. The pictures don't do them justice. The master of the horse told me the name of the breed. Kladruber. http://www.uskha.com/index.php?pid=6

I had never heard of it.

I ate carrots before we went, and as a result I was an instant hit with the horses. They are all stallions, and SO calm (I think Denali should make a visit to the barn.) They are also huge horses. They don't look like it in the pictures, but they have to be at least 17h. I think I made Adam spend the full two hours at the stable. I wish my pictures did the horses better justice. They are beautiful!
This is my buddy. He's the one I am with in the first picture. He pretty much loved me and wanted to go home with me. Well...not really, he really just wanted a carrot.

Adam trying to memorize the layout of the stable so he can build me one JUST LIKE IT (here's to dreaming!)
