161 - It's Saturday Morning


It's Saturday morning, and it's horse show time!  This gorgeous little stallion is a Gypsy Vanner, and he is headed to the ring in the first Gypsy Horse show ever in Texas.  (The breed originated in Europe, developed by the Romano gypsies to pull their caravans--hence the name "vanner".  They're fairly new to the US.)
