A rare experience to be INSIDE of the paddock, where the horses get tacked up and the jockeys get instructions from the trainers. Usually, only owners and trainers and jockeys (and stable hands) are allowed in the paddock. We kind of sneaked in, mwhahaha. xD (With the help of a racehorse owner, lol.) The statue is of a horse called Sea Hero... not sure why he's so important, though. =X

Gorgeous chestnut racehorse. Two years old.
Another chestnut, in the paddock again.
In the paddock once more.... She's got puffs in her ears, lolololol.
On the 'backside'. We got back here with the help of our racehorse owner friend. ^^ Morning workouts in the fog...
Horses walking and trotting work to the right (opposite of racing). Horses doing anything more than a trot work to the left (the way of racing.)
Love this horse.
Working in pairs. (That's a crop sticking out from the rider's jeans, not an antenna, haha.)
No stirrups! xD
I'm in love with this picture, for some reason. It's all just so serene.
Trotting, very alert.
♥
You can kind of make out him running... (This is all in the fog, people, lol. My camera isn't THIS horrible.)
Love the bright orange polo wraps. xD
FAST!
