Sunshine in San Diego, Guest Photos
As soon as you enter the hotel, you will see the famed horse, Sunshine. This paper-mache horse stood in front of the old Kahle Saddlery Shop for over 79 years, a store that Wyatt Earp himself frequented. When it was eventually demolished, the horse was stored till it found a new home in the lobby of the Horton Grand Hotel.

Horses of NYC 2017, Time To Go
Travel photos now. Back to horse news later.
~~~
I was here …
Rockefeller Center
… saw this …
… went for a closer look.
The metal barriers in the middle photo are blocking off part of the street. After a few minutes, the two riders went into the empty space and marched up and down for a photo shoot. I never did find out why.
I watched for a while.
All of New York City at my feet, and I spend 20 minutes looking at horses.
Yup.
Time for me to go home.

Spotted in NYC 2017 at a Special Place
Spotted working the crowd while the home team idles.
~~~
I finally got my horse to Madison Square Garden.
Bucket List – Accomplished
I am grateful for having … Ridden at the National Horse Show … I’m not bitter about the fact that I rode in the National the first year it moved from New York City to New Jersey. Really. Not bitter at all.

Horses of NYC 2017, Home Again Home Again Jiggety Jog
Downtime. Catching up on vacation photos. Back to current when there is something to report.
~~~
This is the building I lived in from 4th grade to the middle of 9th grade. As a kid, I lived in seven(?) places, six of which I remember. If you asked me to imagine my childhood home, this is the one that would come to mind. (If you asked me where I grew up after the age of 14, I’d probably say the barn.)

Jiggety jig or jiggety jog? Say what you want about big data, there are times when the Internet is too cool.
Finally, what is with the ugly, gaping mouths on horse statues? [Horses of NYC 2015]
