Horses

There are lots of horses in England. On most pretty days you will see at least one person out riding and lots of horse trailers on the road. Most of the horse transporting is not done in horse trailers like are familiar in the U.S., but in cargo vans.
Most of the horse riders have on the English-style hats. The following photo shows a horse and rider out on a major road. She is giving us a signal that it is OK to pass her.




Most of the horses are Shire horses, with shaggy legs at this time of year. The next pictures are of a horse cart in "downtown" Martock. There are some feed sacks on the back of the cart that the people were taking to fill up----when we saw them later the sacks were full.

I enjoyed seeing all the horses in England, but my favorite were the gypsy wagons. You just don't see too many of those at home. (And by the way, I haven't told the kids that you are coming home tomorrow. They are going to be so surprised!)
