Horse girl says, "Squee!"

Sunday last (Feb. 8th) I did a lovely thing on a whim--I spent my weekly grocery budget and went to see the Royal Lipizzaner Stallions perform. And I got a really great seat for my not-much money, too! There were two rows of folding chair on the actual floor, a tiny half wall, and then the first row of stadium seats. I was in that first row. So I had a better view (I think) than the people on the floor, because I was just slightly raised.

I took pictures with my cell phone, which basically means, you can tell those white blurs are horses, but not much else. Nonetheless I share them with you. And a very brief video of a couple of the more spectacular "Airs Above the Ground" if I can figure out how to add it. I was trying to be a bit surreptitious, so they're kind of truncated, but still impressive. I really should go to more things like this. I had plenty of food to last the week without that money and I have a wonderful memory. I love when money goes toward experiences!

How very fun for you. I've never seen any kind of horse show, but then again I'm not a horse person. Next month we're going to see Jeff Dunham, the comedian with puppets. Andy loves him. :)
