I would just like to share a few pic's of our day out at one of Irelands top Pony Trapping/Pacing events it is Titled 'The King Of The Road' & as its held just 5 mins up the road from our house every Easter Sunday, Myself,Patsy & my daughter Rose (Miss Madam) attend it yearly & find it is a very entertaining event :thumbsup: some of the horses/ponies that took part were very well presented, here is some pic's... :thumbsup:

great pics, there is a trotting horse trained near ours,.............my own horse

makes me laugh when i ask him to canter he trots even faster, don't think he

realises that it takes up more energy than a canter..............
 
Great pics :thumbsup: ..I see there are getting to be more and more colored trotters making appearences now & skull caps too...it used to be the guys on the sulkies did'nt give a toss about safety when they were flashing the horses but it has all changed now.
