The 2011 British Champion Percheron Stallion, Willingham Hempsall II:
An 1893 vegetable cart:
A 1911 boat wagon (the blue bit could actually be lifted off and used as a boat!)
A sporty modern wagonette:
A unicorn hitch (one horse in front and two behind) pulling a dray from 1900, on their way back to the stables after the show:
I was riding in the vegetable cart which is how I got such a good shot!
Going off in a totally different direction, I also wanted to mention that today marks one year since sweet Yuu-Chan left us to go to the Bridge. We all still miss him so very much. In memory of his beloved presence, I am wearing his last collar as a bracelet over this weekend. I will never forget you, my soulful boy:
We will never forget him either. Such a sweet and special boy.
ReplyDeleteWe nevver got to meet Yuu-Chan but he looks like a sweet kitty.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Show!
That is really nice that you have his little collar as a bracelet. It keeps him close and I bet it will help send vibes to Vidock. He is showing off this weekend, right?

PeeEssWoo: Hi Tommy!!!
We just forgot to breath. Really. Those horsies are stunning...breathtaking!! Then we got a HUGE lump in our throats looking at the picture of Yuu....what a wonderful, sweet boy he was....we miss him too and send you lots of purrs and headbutts to know that he won't be forgotten even by those who never met him. What a lovely boy he was. RIP Yuu. Purrs, Lautrec and Tiny (oh, ok, and Ellwood and Ginger...if you insist!)
ReplyDeleteStunning pictures there of the horses. I would never get a chance at such a sight if you weren't there. I am amazed you have the time to write something for us and very grateful.
ReplyDeleteMom's eyes watered a bit with the wearing of Yuu-Chan's collar. xoxox
A year since he left...... we miss him too. The world was robbed of a fine young cat. Purrs x
ReplyDeleteA year already - we miss him he was such a lovely litle mancat in training. We know you will be sad today #1 but he would want you to enjoy your Percheron World Congress. We know Yuu-Chan will be cheering and watching for you from Rainbow Bridge.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

Purrs for you this weekend and sweet Yuu-Chan
ReplyDeleteYuu-Chan was a very special boycat. Even though we live on a completely different continent, we were also very saddened by his passing. I'm glad you have such an exciting weekend - the busy-ness will keep you in a good frame of mind.
ReplyDeleteSUCH excitement! Mommy laughed about you riding in a vegetable cart.
ReplyDeleteWe will take a quiet minute today to remember dear Yuu-Chan, we also miss his sweet face.
Purrs for Yuu-Chan and you. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe love that photo of Yuu-chan. Hugs and purrs to you on this day. Good luck with the Convention!
ReplyDeleteThat's the sweetest picture of Yuu-Yuu, it really shows what a soulfull boy he was. We can not believe it's been one year already. We love you lots, Yuu-Yuu!
