Pur-sang Arabe
Every year Menton hosts a prestigious two-day show - the Menton Arabian Horse Championships. To see these magnificent horses strutting their stuff on the beach and in front of the backdrop of the beautiful Old Town was mind-blowing. I have to say I had tears in my eyes watching these amazing creatures. This year there were horses from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Egypt, Spain, Italy, Qatar, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and of course, France.
Hi Jilly. Just dropping in for my Menton sun dose. As you may have seen, it's "rather damp" here.
ReplyDeleteThose are magnificent beasts! So elegant...
ReplyDeleteoh i love this one--so much in there, the beach, the horses, and the man in the necktie running with the horse, so much to marvel at!
ReplyDeleteAnd that magnificent trophy - is it made of oranges and lemons? I hope there was a nice breeze from the ocean because I sure wouldn't want to be the guy in that shirt & tie!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the beauty of Arabian horses but I don't believe I would recognized one.
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow (flowered) cup on the left.
Wow...
ReplyDeleteThe beach has been transformed into the Arabian desert!
Interesting!
Oh Jilly this is spectacular!!!
ReplyDeleteMenton has it all! Those horses are amazing. My daughter would love to be there...(she's almost 3years and loves horses)...and so would I.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful scene this is. I absolutely love the facade.
ReplyDeleteIs that trophy made of lemons? If it is...wow! That sure is a lot of lemons :)
