Last evening... Granada street life

Our last night in Granada we were in town for the defile de caballos (parade of the horses); a dramatic change from seeing the bone-thin work horses in the campo and in the city, pulling carts of bananas and cargo.  These dancing equines were energetic, glossy, and
clearly used to a parade.  Many without bridles and ridden with twine halters, they showed off their Spanish walk, passage and piaffes (suspension trotting in place), even amid brass bands and firecrackers.  Dios Mio!  Impressive!
 
When I get back to Maine, I've got to have a conversation with my little Morgan mare, who sometimes is afraid of the sunlight leaking under the door . . . watch out Prima! -Elana
