Horses

An unusal sight on any beach really, the gathered forces of the King's Troop at full gallop bearing down on you. Though partially posted in Afghanistan, the troop are more often seen firing Royal salutes on state occassions, under the leadership of Captain Max Channery.









These were shot earlier in the summer for the national newspapers while the horses were 'holidaying' in Cornwall.  Luckily the surf was only mediocre, so it was easy to concentrate.

In other news, this blog has heard that it is not fulfilling all of the functions claimed in the title.  Plenty of photos and surfing, we're told, but not enough moaning. To redress the balance, perhaps Blogger itself should be the subject of some moaning..... I've been trying to post these photos now for about ten days, but the recent 'updated' and revamped blogging software has been consistently refusing to allow it. Stumped, with all 'Help' emails routinely ignored, thousands of other stumped Bloggers also unanswered by The System and unable to find a solution in the forums, I've now cunningly manged to circumvent the photo blockade with some fickle web trickery to finally bring you these pictures.  It's a really Bassackward world where the technology claiming to be for displaying only two things - words and photos - is entirely deficient in one of them.  It feels like it's the start of massive state (or even business) censorship, and we should all be watching our backs. 

Or maybe Blogger just doesn't like pictures of horses.

More moaning next time, enjoy your day.
