This week I have been featuring activities at the Royal Adelaide Show which I attended on Friday. Throughout the day in the main arena were some horse trials and show jumping; here is a horse and rider competing in a cross country event.
This is a rather special horse; a Clydesdale which is part of the Coopers Brewery Clydesdale Team. They can often be seen in the streets of Adelaide pulling a cart, reminiscent of the times when Thomas Cooper delivered his beers to Adelaide households using a cart pulled by Clydesdales. Now the Clydesdale tradition continues on for promotional purposes and a public relations exercise.

I absolutely LOVE those Clydesdales and used to see them at country fairs when we lived back East in Canada. Out here in the West, unless you go into the farming areas, you don't see them too much. Have a heavenly week. :)
These horses pull the Budweuiser Beer wagons on TV commercials in the states and most of the commercials are really lovely to see. At least I enjoy them. I also remember the time a Clydesdale stepped on my bare foot. Fortunately we were together in a stall and the bedding was deep and it merely pressed my foot down until I smacked him on the side to get him to move over. It could have been worse. I must have been about ten years old then. This is a really nice post with the photos.
I only have one "H" for my post today. I hope you like it. I put it on Canon Pixels
