The Rocky Mountain Horse Expo , March, 2005.
Denver, Colorado

At the Rocky Mountain Horse Expo.  It's not every day (or night, in this case) in the USA that you get to see a pair of mares hooked up in traditional gypsy fashion (the second mare, Babydoll, is hooked on as a "sideliner", they are not hooked as a team).  We do this once in a while for special occasions!  On this occasion, we were a part of the Expo's  evening performance show. 

The busy "gypsy camp".  Horses, wagons, people, never a dull moment!

"The Gang's all here!"  Our early breed demo.  Not many people here, but most of them were behind the camera in the stands.  The later breed demos had more people to love the gypsy horses.  Left to right we have Jeff driving Babydoll on the flatcart, Niece Catie riding Dinah, Niece Christian holding the gelding Snyder, Gary Smith (in Blue) holding their good filly Hope, the colts Kilty, Kenny (held by friend Jim Steffon), and Jeremy (held by Marie Harrity, Hope's "mom").  in the back.

Babydoll on the cart, after doing her trips to the 7-11 store and back for refreshments.  She was our taxi service at this show.  That's Hope, belonging to Marie Harrity and Gary Smith, who went along for the drive thru town. 

Babydoll, she's just too cute!
 

Our big Breyer model shire horse Gracie got to come out of retirement for this expo.  She was a celebrity horse at the event, being on display with her Breyer Model.  See the Breyerfest '03 page for all the details on that.  That's Dinah on the right, she and big Gracie are good buds.
