Dublin calling! Today I went to the Royal Dublin Society, for the annual Horse Show! 💖
It is a festival every year here in Dublin, near the end of summer. There are lots of different shows and competitions, but also things like demonstrations and shops. This was my first time going, but I want to go every year now because it was so excellent! I wish I could own a horse some day, but for now I'm not wealthy and I live in my little "cosy" place in the city. However, I can still enjoy and appreciate horses and the lovely people who care for these animals.
Have a look at some of my photos. I'm no photographer, but hopefully it helps demonstrate the fun atmosphere at the horse show...
Of course I met lots of horses, both small and big...
My favourites were the real ones! Very beautiful and powerful animal. These riders make it look easy, but I have tried and it's not as easy as it looks, for sure!
There were so many shops, selling mostly equestrian equipment and gifts. Definitely an expensive hobby. Well, more than a hobby for many people. A lifestyle!
Friendly faces! My friend Frank (above on right) is an artist and gallery owner. His friend did a caricature sketch of me!
I spent some time sketching too. Art is one of my favourite hobbies. Maybe some day I will share some of my paintings...
I sketched my friend Frank! Hmmm, I feel like I should start doing art again more often. It was really enjoyable. Sometimes I neglect my hobbies!
So, ice cream and horses and artwork and sunshine and wonderful people. This was a really amazing day for me. If you ever go to Ireland at this time of year, you should visit the Horse Show, even if you're not interested in horses!
Well, that's my photo diary for today! Thanks for visiting. Please if you have any comments or blogging tips, I would love to hear them. I really wish I can do some great blogs on here.
Also, how are you? Please say hello in the comments. I love interacting with the amazing Steemians!
-- Love, Vajola
