That looks like so much fun! Is that Jasmin on the gray horse next to you in the last photo? Are they all Lipizzan horses? That little bay horse looks out of place.

Looks like a nice tradition... 
A day on horseback is a day to be cherished...
You look good Lip and so does your horse...
What is being handed to you from the gentleman on the dark gray horse??? {red, white and blue ribbons?}

Mistermom- that is Jasmin, most are Lipizzaners but there are other horses also, you are right bay one is Lipi mix, not pure. h4l- that's my bf, we are passing alkohol drinks, I am not drinking just passing  I am proud to say that when I started to ride in those events many years ago when I was just a girl, I was one of few woman on horses, now there are more and more, and it is a man tradition though, but it's a different time thank you  |

What a wonderful tradition, and see. your townspeople are looking up to you , the women are following you in your riding and are also enjoying what you are enjoying.. that is what you want. to educate the people so they know horses. one step at a time. you and your jasmine and others look amazing.  |

And you two look so good together! I love that she is so alert and always has her ears forward (well except for the last photo where she is so relaxed with you that she is sleeping smileys-sleeping-245353 ).

Thank you, it is a copper bit. I would guess then a twisted copper wire then? I have been thinking of going to rubber bits for my little teams. |

I have been thinking of going to rubber bits for my little teams. no, just a regular looking snaffle inside, tick smothe copper bit. Rubber bits are good, mine horses like to chew on them so I don't use. Thank you Terry! |
