Miniature Horse Show

On Sunday the 18th of October the easy horse care rescue centre in Rojales is holding a miniature horse show to raise funds for the work they do in rescuing and caring for abandoned and abused horses. The centre have already rescued several miniature horses and will be able to highlight the beauty of this breed at the show. Visitors will also have the opportunity to view the facilities and see some of the other horses that have been rescued.
Miniature horses are found all over the world and come in various colors and coat patterns. The designation of miniature horse is determined by the height of the animal, which, depending on the particular breed registry involved, is usually less than 34–38 inches (86–97 cm)

One man and his horse

Another of our evening walks had us meeting up with one man and his horse. The meeting took place along the river path to formentera. We were treated to a short display of Spanish horsemanship, Caballo y Deporte, as he put his steed through its paces. Its always great to stumble upon these bits of real local life. The autumn was very much in evidence on this recent walk, witness photo number two the sun shining through the seed heads of riverside plants
