a little of this, that and an obsession....

a good friend of mine was kind enough to accomadate my little obsession with horse legs...

one morning in early july he brought me into the "backside" of canterbury park.

translation....backside = where the horses are boarded, cared for and trained for race day.

i stumbled across this gentleman...

the farrier

he takes care of the horse hooves.

horse legs....lead to hooves

~*~

i had no problem watching him work...

~*~

it was fascinating.

i wish i would have asked him questions.

~*~

oh!  hello pretty.....

~*~

i love the stirrups on saddles.

i love how boots look in stirrups.

moving along ~~~>~>>~~~>

~*~

this is the practice track where horses train.

~*~

i was fortunate enough to stand (squat) right up it in order to photograph

my

obsession

~*~

horse legs....

~*~

coming and going ~~>>~~~>>>

~*~

i really cannot explain why

i am

obsessed

with

horse legs...

~*~

but they are magnificent

~*~

and i find

so much strength

and

beauty

in

them.

in beauty,

Pamela
