Quiet Giant

This is a shot I capured at The Horsham Show today,

The eye of a beautiful Clydesdale.

Many years ago, I was very lucky to ride one regularly.

When I was younger, I spent some time living on Magnetic Island,

my job - which was hardly called work,

was to take tourists for horse rides,

through the rainforest and along the beach,

then take the tourists and their mounts into the water for a bareback swim.

The lodge had many horses, amongst them was Clyde,

a lovely gentle giant Clydesdale.

He was the favourite of all the staff,

he loved the water,

he was like a giant rocking horse when he was swimming

Here is the only pic I have of Clyde,

thats me riding him to round up the other horses in the morning

those were the days....

See you tomorrow for Blogtoberfest
