Tremendous horses they are.
What beautiful horses
ReplyDeleteYeah just talked to him and he sent me these....GG...
ReplyDeleteHave you ever looked deep into a horses eye?I love all animals and a dogs love is unconditional,but a horse it's like they have an extra sense and they let you know that everything is going to be all right.Clydesdales are gentle giants and their beauty is as beautiful as God's wonderous Rainbow.If I may call you Jack,you have made my day with these beautiful pictures and I truly thank you,you have made my day. Caroline
ReplyDeleteWe have the Budwiser plant with their Clydesdales in Merrimack N.H.U>S>A>
Yes I have as we used to visit our relatives and actually there are a few that belong within the family. Jack is my name and ironically when my cousin sent me these the first one on my main page was by way of an email forwarded to me that he had sent to a person by the name of Conners within Merrimack. Coincidence!
ReplyDeleteSo it's really a very small world Caroline.
Wonderful photos!!
ReplyDeleteFrani, I had no idea that this would happen today here with a cousin that I was not raised with but that is my older cousin nevertheless. they are and I thank you. These are not current pictures as right now we are covered in snow but they truly are.
ReplyDeletea beautiful horse..look at those --huge ...feet?!!
ReplyDeleteCaroline.....this is my favorite picture truly!
ReplyDeletemagnificent beast, reminds me of bygone times, the brewery horses, the funeral horses, the farm horses. You don't often see the animals at work any more
ReplyDeleteNo Loretta, there origins are from Scotland as that was what they were used for now they are mostly used for show - yet they are magnificient.
ReplyDeletevery sweet shot!
ReplyDeleteheehee
ReplyDeletethe end!
wow great capture!
ReplyDeleteDanette did want to make any comment on this one lol yes the "final end"....:)
ReplyDeleteThey are just Beautiful....
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to do something with this in a conceptual manner but literally when he called at 6pm and said there where more on the way (my cousin that is) I just didn't have the time.
ReplyDeleteThe gent in there is my cousin and he is hungarian and a very good one although we only seen each other as well as his wife in several months, yet we do keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise that it is your favorite.Just look at that picture.Tell me you can't feel those eyes speaking to you.So large in size but so gentle to the human that cares for him and loves him.Unfortunately "KING" a clydesdale that I was'nt suppose to be on,stopped suddenly and I went over his head and landed back stretched over a large bolder unable to move.KING stood over me for over an hour and licked my face and staired into my eyes never to move,untill a neighbor looked over the extending pasture and only then did KING step gently away,he was protecting me.There are no words to describe this picture.I have sat for hours now and stared at this magnificant work of God.I am not computer wise or I would love to have his as my desktop,and see KING for eternity. Why do you love this picture the best? Caroline
ReplyDeleteJules, I was raised within this area of farms but as a kid we would always come back and on the other side of the family there was the aunt that I always stayed with. I love this capture and at the same time how urbanized we are yet there is something to be said with regards to rural life...it seems to be a trend these days.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah look at those eyes...there is a tranquility of sorts within it.
Mom, Dad, and Junior?
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful I loved watching the Budweiser Clydesdale's when they were in town here. They were magnificent . It was an experience I'm glad I was able to enjoy. Thanks for sharing the photos
ReplyDeleteCaroline, I just got back here to this study and I am going to do a poem or pros on it. There are several words that come to mind with this. But I shall. If you wish to have it as a wallpaper by all means...I am not sure how I can send it to you but I will be writing on him and tomorrow and you can click and open and enlarge it...perhaps there is someone that can help as you are free to do so by all means.
ReplyDeleteHowever I will do a writing on this very picture it the is much within this picture which is all new to me. I shall find a way so you can. You may see on your blog the zoom in feature...if so click it and copy it if you know what I mean.
YOU MAY SEE "ZOOM IN" UP ON THE UPPER RIGHT AND JUST CLICK ON IT....
ReplyDeleteHey thanks Cheryl one of his horses is part of the Budweiser's I kid you not...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly...
ReplyDeleteMagnificent animals. I saw these in the flesh at a Budweiser promotion in northern California last year. The Busch family chose their product symbols well.Thanks for sharing these Jack.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doug literally there are two of my cousin's horses that have been bought by the company over the past five years. I never thought that later today I would have this talk with my cousin and then it lead into this...it's been two generations now within this side of my family and ironically his father who is now passed on would have never thought that he would be doing this as a secondary. They are truly magnificent the last time I saw his horses at his farm was back when I was in high school although he does come here to Saskatoon with his wife each and every three months.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a parent does pass things along that a son or daughter doesn't appreciate until later. I hope gets great rewards for keeping up thee tradition within the family.
ReplyDeletebeautiful horses
ReplyDeleteHis younger brother blew it....and Delvin bought him out as Robbie thought he would be a nashville star...he blew his part and well that is how it goes. But when he took it all on as I knew him more while I was attending university here...his father had passed at that time and he was just farming and just competing here in Canada - then he moved on with it. His father would be very proud but his wife she is as well and works along with him and does most of all the bookeeping.
ReplyDeleteArielle hiya...I thought I was up late :) I was joking before if you had ever heard of Mr. Ed, but....these are tremendous horses as are others but the size you never would realize till your right next to them.
ReplyDeleteyep, they have them downtown here! loved mr. ed!
ReplyDeleteNot gonna do it! :)
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteClydesdales are the most magnificent equine, and these are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey are and if you have ever had the pleasure of one stepping on your foot there is a big ouch!
ReplyDeleteClydes are wonderful gentle souls, but they can pack a powerful kick when they want to.lol.
ReplyDeleteMy friend has one and he truly is beautiful...makes my Arab look like a pony.
Hey thanks as I know that you are a big lover of your own horses! I would have never thought that this which took place yesterday would have had a rather neat impact. All the best to you over there.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the eyes of horses. It seems we can see their souls through their eyes. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Danielle...
