Grass Valley Draft Horse Fair

Last week we took a jaunt up to beautiful Grass Valley, near Auburn, CA. It was such a perfect, (nearly) fall day. My mom has wanted to take my girls up to see this event for a year and we made sure not to miss it. Both girls love horses and these are HORSES! They are so huge. But they are one of God's most awesome creation. Just looking at them, you can see how powerful they are. There were Percherons, Clydesdales, Belgiums, Shires, Suffolks, and American Cream breeds. Unfortunately, because we went the very first day, the fair itself was not completely up and running and the performances weren't scheduled until later that night, which for a number of reasons, we could not stay for. But we enjoyed admiring these beautiful animals and standing in awe of their stature. Next year we are planning to make a full day of it, on a Friday or Saturday, of course!
