I have been to Cracow many times. It is the old capital of Poland and one of the most popular tourist destination in Poland. Cracow is a great city .It is unusual but in Cracow you can ride in a carriage and feel like a Princess or Prince.
All photos were taken in Cracow last year .
Horses in the city centre
The horses are so majestic and I love seeing the city streets.
ReplyDeleteMildred they are fantastic
DeleteI would want horses with the feathers on their heads! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes it looks great
DeleteI'd love to see them and talk to the horses.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they feel proud to wear the fancy harnesses.
Dina I don't think so
DeleteThose draught horses are very majestic.
ReplyDelete(Draught horse (Australian), Draft horse (USA) and Dray horse (European) - all the same, just different names.
So in Poland these horses that pull carts, carriages or ploughs are called DRAY horses.)
I think it is a wonderful custom to have retained the
horse drawn carriages for the tourists (mostly I suppose)
to ride slowly around the city sights.
The Polish Equestrian team is one of the finest in the
World. I believe from your military fine cavalry tradition.
Do you ride Gosia??

Colin in Poland horses in the fields are not common only tractors but maybe in the north- South of Poland I think they are much more popular. Of course it is connected with military traditions
DeleteI would like to do that in Cracow
ReplyDeletedian I am waiting for you in Poland
DeleteBy horse and carriage is a fun way to see a city. Those horses are beautiful in their fancy decorative tack.
ReplyDeletecynthia you are definitely right
