A Zeeland 'ringrijder' waiting, in full concentration, for his tour to ride. Yesterday I showed you an image of a Zeeland farmer in traditional working clothes (blue jacket and cap). These 'ringrijders' however, are wearing, as it's a special event, traditonal 'Sunday' clothes (black jacket, round hat and silver ornaments attached at their trousers, it's a pity (?) that the last can't be seen at this image, lol). The farmer with the green scarf is last year's winner. For a more detailed narrative please click here.

It certainly is a history-filled event and I am enjoying learning about these different customs.
The combination of the action and the brick building behind makes for a colourful and interesting picture.

MY PHOTOGRAFIC VISION... I am not an artist, I only let you see with my eyes...!

That's a beautiful Gray! Comparing his head to the winner of last year (the Black in the background), I wonder if that Black is a full Belgian...and maybe used just for this sport? Sounds like a difficult game and would be fun to watch.

I can honestly say that every one of your uploads from this festival have captivated my attention and has drawn me in. Wonderful job of presentation :)

What I like most is, what was done with the hair of the horse. But alltogether everything is very fascinating and interesting and good looking.
