for the love of a horse............

 bedfore you read my post, I forgot to mention that all these pictures were taken early Sunday moring, on Saturday, race day, there were 30,000 people there !!!!!! and, the 3 little girls in the last picture, are 3 or my 5 grands !!!! and they are GRAND !!!

...........we spent Saturday in the beautiful state of Kentucky, in Lexington, at the the Keeneland race track.........and you might think this is the place to go if you are a gambler, think again..........this is one of the oldest and most beautiful race tracks in the United States.........the grounds are immaculate, with mature trees, boxwood hedges, planters with flowers and more boxwood's, stone walls, wood fences, green and white buntings adorn the buildings, old concrete lawn jockeys, gift shops, good food, and CLEAN, with the BEST southern hospitality !!!!!! and the HORSES....they are just beautiful, so well taken care of........then comes the excitement of the race.....and something I enjoy almost as much as the racing, is going to the track in the early morning hours....there are the horses being exercised......not too many people are out this early, it is quiet, then you will see a horse galloping as fast as it can.......the sounds of hooves and snorting is just something to experience........all the pictures are from Keeneland, so enjoy.........till next time....remember me, Linda
