I had a chance to stop by the Pennsylvania National Horse Show in Harrisburg, PA yesterday. I hadn't even made it to the buildings yet when I ran into this handsome turnout in the parking lot. It's "Dave & Dave" - a percheron gelding and his driver. Dave (the horse) is wearing a really fancy harness. I heard later they won their men's cart class - congratulations!
Dave and his wife, Susie, run a carriage services business in Pennsylvania, providing horses and carriages for weddings and other special events. You can see more of their horses and their amazing Cinderella carriage on their website.
Susie took a spin in the ring, too, winning a ribbon with this new gelding:
Thanks, Kim! I got waylaid by two crazed weeks of work. Hope to catch up on blogging in the next couple of days!

How utterly beautiful. I am a real sucker for a Percheron horse. Nothing prettier in the equine world, as far as I"m concerned. What a nice reminder of a different way for human and animal to be partners.
