It was lovely, sometimes, when I found a horse that liked me. When I went for lessons, the lady gave me one horse that evidently didn't like most people but seemed to feel sorry for me and that went pretty well.Emmhttp://missus-emm.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-54827153320694763592011-11-14T00:57:45.636+00:002011-11-14T00:57:45.636+00:00Lovely postcards!

There was a time in the Philippines that every house had a painting of horses hung on their walls; it was considered good luck. I've been on a horse carriage ride or kalesa-ride in the Philippines before but for some reason I get nervous around horses.Sreisaathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833152228862490805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-8504780963033734682011-11-13T22:28:59.412+00:002011-11-13T22:28:59.412+00:00Thanks for showing us an interesting sport.

I think it would be fun to actually be there to see the horse racing,I've only ever seen it on tv which has very little of the excitement.VioletSkyhttp://violetsky-wwwblogger.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8673631888005019643.post-2132269087224044872011-11-13T16:55:04.473+00:002011-11-13T16:55:04.473+00:00Beautiful detail and colour.
