I was born loving horses and so glad I found your images, Fran. They are superb and this one tells a story between this gorgeous animal and his rider. To bond with a horse, there is nothing like it. Perfectly seen and presented, F/L!!

Marie, I'm sure most people have not heard of the Drum Horse so don't feel bad! LOL "Drum horses" are actually named after a job they perform. They are an indespensable part of the Band of Life Guards. These horse carried two large, solid silver kettle drums plus a fully outfitted rider through crowds of thousands during the Queen's processions. The most extrordinary part is that these horses were controlled entirely by reins attached to the riders stirrups as they had to use their hands to beat the drums. Nearly always Pinto or Sabino in color but it is still common to see a solid today. Only geldings were used for the ceremonies but I'm told that a mare has been accepted recently.I can honestly say of those I have met personally that they are the most dignified, and special horses that you will find.

This horse is stunning. If you are lucky enough to own these magnificent animals what else could you possibly want. Can you tell I am a horse lover?
Fran J Scott replied:
LOL Yes Marie I can tell you're just as enamored with horses as I am! Thank you for your comment, very kind of you! :-)
