The day I fell in love.. with Bob!



Maybe not as elegant as the Andalusian beauty I showed yesterday but oh my, how tall, strong and handsome is Bob! A thirteen year old, 17HH black Shire horse Bob stole my heart last Sunday. Once afraid of horses, now I am smitten.. hopefully not bitten :) Bob was so patient while I snapped away. As 'leading man' of many weddings with 'Charming Carriages' (please take a look at the wedding photos on the link, he really is too beautiful) he has had a lot of 'patience' practice :) Bob, along with June, Toffee and Johnny are the Swan Valley Wagon Tour team that delights tourists and locals alike with a variety of wagon trips.. the Kings Park tour sounds like a must for visitors, and maybe me also just so that I can have another rendezvous with Bob :) Happy Friday, take care and stay safe... P.s. did you notice the jaunty mustache Bob is sporting!

    So pretty. I had no idea they had Kings Park tours with a horse carriage.

    I am not keen on horses but draught horses always seem to have such good temperaments and it seems Bob is not an exception.

    Another fine horse. They all make the quarter horses I used to have look so plain.

    I adore those powerful horses. In medieval times they carried the knights in their heavy armour. Beautiful portrait of a lovely horse.
