Excellent shot.

The horse seems to be in good condition, too.
Mary MacADNski: Yes, they do look good and they are brushed and cleaned to look their very best.
Always nice, old times meet 2010
Mary MacADNski: It makes a nice addition to the summer here.

Some days are just perfect for a horse ride.
Mary MacADNski: It would be a nice way for the tourists to have a tour....slow and leisurely.

I expect this is very popular with the tourists. Looks like he has a little bag around his rear end to catch any droppings?
Mary MacADNski: The bag is an improvement. A few years ago there were different horses and carriages and horse droppings everywhere.
They look like true professionals. A handsome pair Mary
Mary MacADNski: There is one with eight seats as well. I think these outfits do rather well in summertime.
I wonder what they do out of the tourist season? Where is this, Mary?
Mary MacADNski: This is here in PEI. I would say they work sleigh rides or have leisure in the winter.
it reminds me of the song : horse with no name, wich i like very much!

Mary MacADNski: Haven't heard that one for a while.
Are these especially for those visitors on long romantic weekends away Mary.
Mary MacADNski: They are for anyone who hails one but I would imagine mostly tourists use them.
Lovely image, Mary. What a pleasant way to see the area. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: It slows the pace of a car or bus, the usual way to tour.
I assume this is on PEI? It reminds me of Philadelphia, where I lived some years ago.
Mary MacADNski: Yes, it's here.
This song seems to fit your image well.
Mary MacADNski: It is supposed to be an important addition. I'm glad you listened.
