Default Andalusian Stallion

Well today was my lucky day, on the way home I saw this gentleman on horseback in
the parking lot, I practically jumped out of the moving van to get some pictures.
As it turned out his buddies had just pulled in, and called him over, and he put on a show just for me !!
This horse was dancing thru the parking lot, he was trained so incredibly and did so many tricks.
I was so excited my camera settings were all off from just shooting indoors, here he is...

and here is a head shot

And a beautiful arched neck

And lastly the leap into air

They all ride and will be performing in a parade in a couple of weeks. Think I'll be going.

Beautiful! I love the side shot of his head. You really should go to the parade and get some more pics.

What a cool find! It was your lucky day. I can not wait to see the ones you get from the parade also. I know they will be great! Beautiful horse. Did it remind you of our horse days? I also love the action of the last one. So cool he did that just for you. I love the arched neck as well and all the detail in that braided main. Very pretty.
