Wednesday Whinnies - The Percheron Championship Edition

 

#1 here. Having spent all of last weekend at The French National Percheron Championships, I thought I would share a few photos with all of you. Most competitions worldwide ended up being cancelled because of COVID, so it was amazing that this one actually happened.

First the stallions, who are presented in the courtyard of the stunning chateau at Haras du Pin:. The presenters must really be able to run!





Then the mares:





As you can see, most people were pretty good about wearing masks, including me!


Then, the driving, both pairs and singles:



I hope you enjoyed this little view into a more normal world!
