They let us observe them and most likely could sense our admiration; these creatures so ancient that they could nearly be ghosts from another time, were it not for their cut short snorts and rippled muscles moving under their white coats covering deep black skins." xxJeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-61727393930315936732015-10-18T21:26:37.308+02:002015-10-18T21:26:37.308+02:00Spectacular photos!

I took a two hour guided tour of the Camargue marshes on one of them, with a guide from the equivalent of the state park. I asked for the smallest oldest one, as I am a very poor rider -- I can fall off even before I get on! It was quite memorable, and staggering back to my car I remembered why I don't often ride a horse .....<br />bonniebonnie groves poppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04526679103100978881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-50213540525745488892015-10-17T06:19:20.639+02:002015-10-17T06:19:20.639+02:00This is something I have always wanted to see!!! ...This is something I have always wanted to see!!!

It is clear that they trusted you and Remi, for they do have that sleepy quality - not an "on guard/watch out!" vibe. The photos are so wonderful - the first one is UH-MAY-ZING - their faces together are heart-shaped! And I think the fact that you have some experience with horses shows in these photos and maybe helps explain why they were so calm around you (and your experienced-aroung-wild-animals boyfriend). Congratulations - we are so happy to experience this through your beautiful photos and words!robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04238181152648216554noreply@blogger.com
