Hay is for horses

ISn't that the sweetest face you have ever seen?? Don't know whose horse it is, but he sure is a beauty! I love horses so i am THRILLED for tonights events.
Today I am driving with Peter up to Raleigh to the 2008 Equine Extravaganza benefitting North Carolina Childrens Hospital. Another Childrens Promise event that Mr.Ambassador will be attending. He is like a little mini socialite! At least we dont have to dress up or have a photo shoot for this.



It is a 3 day horse show, vendors, trainers etc. Then at night they have a separate Equus extrordinaire. Lipizzaner stallions, (picture at left) Roman Riding(picture at right) and more. It is a hugely popular event, so it must be something amazing. All I know and care about is that I get in free, and a portion of every ticket sold raises money for N.C. Childrens Hospital.


Tonight at the Equus Extrordinaire show they will have Peter sitting on a wagon being pulled around the arena by Clydesdales while he waves and takes a bow. I am sure he will channel his inner ham and be as cute as can be. He usually knows how to work a crowd, especially if they are clapping and cheering for him. So expect muscles being flexed, clapping, faces being made and silliness to ensue.

I will take lots of pictures.
have a great weekend!!

What a wonderful show..Years ago, we only had three daughters at the time..Had a chance to go to Austria..Vienna..Saw the home of the Lipizzaners..I believe General Patton saved it from being bombed during the war..I think I have that right.

You think Leland and Uncle Rat will be there, long hair flowing, throwing javelins at hay bales?
