The "Account of a Recent Experience" part...
Saturday, two days ago, Hno. Jose asked me if I wanted to see a friend of his, here in Lima, who owns 20 some-odd racing horses. I love horses, so naturally, I said "YES!" Actually I said "SI!" but that's beside the point. This friend keeps his race horses at a certain race horse keeping place of which I've forgotten the name. It's situated directly beside the... the "Lima Horse Racing Place." (or something like that.) Anyhow, I took some pictures of the occasion and thought you might enjoy them. This was also the first time I had actually seen a horse race. As we were touring the place, we walked out to the race track where they were preparing for a race. I got a couple photos of the horses taking off, then we left. It was quite the exhilarating experience.
Please enjoy.
Also, if you have any questions about horses, for example, "Are they pretty?" "Are they big?" "What do they feel like?" "How much would a racing horse cost?" "how big was the track?" etc, please feel free to ask, as since my visit to this place, I feel like I am much more knowledgeable. I would be more than happy to pull from my vast bottomed-out, er, bottomless pit of knowledge and provide answers for all your inquiries regarding horses and things horse-related (donkeys, zebras, mules, etc.).
This picture is of three horses and three men (6 in all)
One tall horse and one short man
Notice his sophisticated saddle.
Got them both smiling. Though the one on the right was difficult to catch.
Two race horses and one race horse taker-care-of.
Me and the horse that tried to eat my shirt.
He also almost ate my camera.
Old horse and Bro. Jose
Me and the old horse
Bro. Jose, our friend (with the phone), and me (behind the picture).
The big trailer being towed by the tractor is called the "horse-race-starter-place." Very sophisticated name, I know. I'm actually surprised I remembered it all. It's the place where the race horses start the horse race.
This was taken right after the race horses started the horse race from the previously mentioned "horse-race-starter-place."
As mentioned before, feel free to send in any questions that you might have. As you can see from my highly technical horse talk, I am quite knowledgeable on the subject. I would be happy to hear from you.
Meanwhile, God bless!
And...
May the horse be with you! (hehe.. haha.. snicker.. phkknppk)
