    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! :-)
