A Walk Among the Horses ... Part Four

Thankfully, we are experiencing cooler weather in the Bluegrass, at least for a day or two. Despite spending the day at the Newport Aquarium, I was up for an early evening walk with Alec to nab as many horses as we could. Weather and lighting conditions being nearly ideal, we ended up visiting almost all the central downtown horses, starting at George's office building (the big blue building) and making a loop from Phoenix Park to Triangle Park and back.

The first two horses were in the courthouse square:

The next two horses are not part of the "official" 82 ... but instead are two of the seven full-size horses painted by local high schools. These are placed at various libraries throughout town, with these two being in front of the Central Library.

Eulogia
Bottle Up
Now back to the official 82:

Dark Star
Man O'Worchid
This is one of my new favorites:

Grapevine
This horse is covered with maps of Kentucky:

So after that marathon session, what's our tally? We've visited/photographed a whooping 61 horses and have only 21 left! However, these will require more effort, as we've now exhausted almost all the "downtown" horses. The others are more spread out, with some even on the far edges of Fayette County!
