The Derby Was In Town This Weekend



His owner said he doesn't like this side of his face washed (attitude!).


This derby is an international event and people travel from all over the world to attend. It's free for those who live here (me). I'm lucky enough to live about a half mile away, so I bike to it. All weekend there are speed & jumping events...it's really quite a show!

that guy was NOT cooperating...it was pretty funny. He was totally not impressed with the "wash down", yet it was a really hot day and you'd think he would love it.

I didn't get any action pics because I got there right at the end (I'd forgotten it was this particular weekend...it was by sheer luck that I rode past and caught the tail end). We went last year though and it was awesome.

I'm a bit of a chicken around horses - I love them but also very much respect that they're bigger/stronger than me.
