The Blessing of the Animals - Careful Now!

Copyright 2009 Menton Daily Photo. All rights reserved.

A child sits astride one of the horses from the stables on Mont Gros. After the 'blessing' the riders allowed many small children to experience, for the first time, what it's like to sit on a horse.

This horse was drinking from the horse trough at the time whilst Maman gingerly lets go of her daugher's arm.

You can read about Boutchette, the 6 month old Bassett Hound puppy who loves horse droppings...! on Riviera Dogs today.

  5. She must feels as if she was a Queen! The hand (of her mother?)reached out to her is beutiful.
