Pretty dress for a horsey day out

24.7.11i24.7.11h24.7.11k

Yesterday I had a wonderful afternoon at the Household Cavalry open day at Bodney Camp. The weather was beautiful! I wore this pretty yet practical Primark dress I bought from ebay (roughly £4 inc p+p). I love the length, the piping and the lovely floral pattern.

I only managed a few photos, most of which were pants, so here are the better ones.

Think this is a drum horse, minus the drums. The horse is HUGE, the rider is not tiny.

The musical ride warming up (I guess, we left before watching them do their show), they’re looking very smart.

The temporary stable blocks. We went round them to see the horses. The smell was divine, it takes me right back.

The crowds and the main ring, with showjumps. The sight of the jumps makes my heart beat that little bit faster.

Blue skies, that was the order of the day. What a wonderful time.

  4. Yup, that's a drum horse alright. They usually go for the heavier breeds as they're less flighty - Shires, Clydesdales.

    Sounds like a gorgeous day out.

  6. GASP. Horsies!! I saw someone walking their horse in circles in their front yard today. I don't know where the horse came from. We don't live in the country ...
