    So beautiful. We don't have Gypsy travelers here like that with horses. We have the amish that travel around the road ways. It crossed my mind the other day, wondering if the pounding of the horses hoofs on the hard black top does not hurt their knees and hips in time.

    thanks peri and redstar, that white horse started moving towards me but couldnt get any further with it been tied, i didnt go near it as it was lifting its hoofs and stamping the grass, ive not seen gypsys up our way before, but my friend said they live in druridge bay, there was about 20 of them dotted all over the grassland and some in a field, was lovely to see.
