Mackinac Island is all about horses. The amazing strength and curious
personalities of these marvelous animals never fail to charm visitors.
A “drive yourself’ carriage ride always provides a surprise or two and
is not difficult. These horses not only know the way they’re headed,
they know which horse they want to follow. And you’d better listen,
or they’ll vocalize loudly till you shape up!
Island horses love their work, but better yet, what follows.
A nice tub full of clear clean water and then…
…. a cool shower, scrub down, food and rest.
The above photos were taken at Jack’s Livery Stable on Mackinac Island.
When the carriage returned to the stable, the horse was immediately greeted
with affection by the staff. In “Discovered – The Cross of Lorraine,”
Tawny takes a romantic winter ride with Takoda. This time, the horses pull a sleigh.
