You posted this purposely, didn't you - knowing I'd be the first to look at it! And I notice, too, the direction the horse is facing and what's facing me!

Hmmm...is there a message here, somewhere?

Hmmm...I've been called a horse's you-know-what, but never a "Circle Dray Horse" whatever that means.

Beautiful sculpture, though!

You are right, but I had no choice about the direction of the horse: on the other side was parked a huge truck.
This is a monument to the dray horses of the Courage Breweries, where once stood their stables.

Lorries... ;-) Shire horses are arguably my favourites. This is simply lovely, the building is super too!

Great shot! So interesting! I like the statue! And the building is very original in shape and also in the color:)

That looks soooo cool! I've been to Shad Thames several times, but never seen this horse. I'll look for it next time :-)

Amazing composition!
This is my first visit to this blog and I'm glad I've 'found' it! :-)
