Our town mascot is looking rather summer-y.

Have a simply cool Sunday and new week, as we trot into August.
Thanks for visiting!
A grass skirt! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteChico looks awesome in his Summer outfit, great post as usual Robyn, love it.
ReplyDeleteOh to be standing around in the sunshine and relaxing! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteGlad you noted the middle one was a real horse, as you've taken photos of the town mascot so often, I wouldn't know the difference.
ReplyDeleteI just love your town mascot horse and he (she?) is very dapper in summer garb.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is a town that likes horsing around...
ReplyDeleteLove the grass skirt and shades. A sun hat would be a nice summer accessory too.
ReplyDeleteWhoo! Cool shades. Horses look so regal!Nicely dressed, too! :D
ReplyDeleteMsA, on a person, a grass skirt is a bit odd. On a horse, pure fun.
ReplyDeleteYW, yeah, he/she well represents the town. Thank you.
Del King, a horse's life doesn't look so bad from here. Be well.
Alex, it is hard to tell the difference even for me - though I took the photos.
Keetha, yes, he/she's a spunky, dapper one. Thanks.
Wayne, we do our share of horse play around here. I appreciate your visit.
Tara, a sun hat would complete the picture. Maybe he/she thought that would ruin the ensemble.
Vidya, "regal" is an accurate word for horses, especially this one in bright green-framed shades.
Be well, everyone.
Thanks for visiting us in Northern Cal.

I prefer fake horses that get dressed up for various occassions.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos - what fun!
ReplyDeleteLeave it to that horse to come up with an outfit appropriate to every occasion!
ReplyDeleteAt least the fake don't leave anything to clean up hahaha but both look stylin.
ReplyDeleteYour mascot looks pretty cool in his summer shades.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool horse! lol Love his shades!
ReplyDeleteI've seen horse with much more clothing. He looks naked, but that's what summer is about, right?
ReplyDeleteit would of been cool if you could of got an interview with the horse.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I love the horses! One is quite the fashionista! lol Love that! :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh sweet... Horses are so calming to me. Love it. Sounds like paradise is agreeing with you.
ReplyDeleteThat horse looks awesome. That's a pretty nice job he is. :)

ReplyDeleteUnknown, me too. Thanks.
ReplyDeletePat, he IS the most spirited horse I've ever seen.
PatH, true. That's probably the most definitive way to tell the difference. I'm glad I don't need to confirm which are real, which are fake.
Chuck and Yvonne, yep, he's one cool horse.
Stephen, Chico summers -in particular- call for as little garb as possible.
PTM, I asked for one, but he/she just said "ney." I took that for a "no."
FV, thank you. I'm glad you love it. I do too. He/she's the talk of the town.
NotSoSimply, they really are beautiful, calming animals. Thank you.
BabySis, he gives it his all. And no worries about typos. I do it all the time.
Be well, everyone.

I love that someone put sunglasses on the horse. Priceless. Someone's got a sense of humor.
