More picspam - Lipica

Like before, I've split the material to make it easier to view. After the Skocjan Caves, we went to Lipica, to visit the famous stud farm where the Lipizzan steeds were first bred. It's still the home of the mother herd, and as you can see below, the horses are truly beautiful.

Sigh...lovely horses, nice stables, what more can a gal want!

Hot stable boys perhaps? *g*

Perhaps some nice Rohirrim?

Mmmm... big, blond, blue-eyed, manly and always good-natured... If you can put up with all that singing and drinking, I think you're on the right way... *g*

I'm sure I could manage *g*

It would be a great self-sacrifice, I'm sure. *g*

Yeah, a dirty job, but someone has to do it, right? *g*

[identity profile] jilba.livejournal.com 2008-05-27 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and I'm prepared to do my duty! LOL

Hmmm... I see that some of the best horsie pics I've uploaded don't appear in this entry. They can be seen in my Lipica ScrapBook folder, until I find and redirect them here.

Also, I'm about to release the lock on the Piran entry. I think you might like those pics, too. As close to Venice as a town not in Italy can be.

Hhm, so where do I find all these wonderful horse pics?

Scroll down to the end of this entry. Surprisingly enough (considering my absolute lack of web skills) I've managed to link the pics from my ScrapBook, although I still haven't the faintest idea where they ended at the first time.

In any case, the last three pics are the ones in question.

Ah, yes, those are lovely!

[identity profile] wiseheart.livejournal.com 2008-05-19 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
And yet they dn't even come close to reality.

I can try to get you a DVD copy from our trip when my colleague finished it. I don't promise for sure, but I'll try, and then you can see the gorgeous horsies in motion. Perhaps it will inspire you to write something again - perhaps something with Elven horses in it? ;))

I'll also try to organize you a copy of "Eclipse of a Crescent Moon" as I've promised so long ago. As soon as we get our book bonuses I'll go and look out for it.

That would be lovely if you could manage it; the DVD and the Eclipse of a Crescent Moon...but don't feel you have to. I will try to write some elven horses...hmm, in what setting do you think? First Age, or later?
